[lug] Film scanners under Linux

[Steve T.]

  Recently I've been thinking about purchasing a film scanner, and
have been wondering about what kind of support there is for them under
Linux; a quick runthrough of supported USB devices shows that the Canon
line is probably supported, but the Nikon line seems to be grossly out
of luck.  A quick check also revealed that there doesn't seem to be
any specially tailored film scanner software anywhere; I'm wondering if
somebody out there who knows about the state of film scanner support
could enlighten me as to what my options are, if any.
