I know what's going wrong, but as you said, I'm unlikely to find time
to fix this real soon. What's happening is that switching the mode
causes all options to be re-fetched. As a result, the value set by -y
is lost when the --mode option is processed. It probably would be
best to stash away the values for -l, -t, -x, and -y and process them
only right before starting a scan. However, note that in general the
command-line options _are_ order-sensitive. Maybe the real bug is
that scanimage(1) doesn't explain this sufficiently well?
