Maintainer

• [ ] Would you like to be the maintainer for this package?

Why should this be included in the repository?

brscan4 is already in the Solus software center, but in order for more Brother scanners, and multifunction printers to work properly the newer brscan5 is needed like the DS640 bar scanner, the brother website has it already packaged in the RPM, and .Deb package format for use on distros like Redhat, Ubuntu, Debian, Mint/Mint DE, etc.. and there is even a port in the Arch AUR I found on my one machine running Manjaro, and when used there my Brother DS640 scanner worked like a charm Gnome document scanner

Are we allowed to redistribute it?

Brscan4 is already in the Solus software center, and in the AUR so I can't see any reason it can't be redistributed for Solus users

What kind of user will use this package, and how many users do you think will use this package?

Anyone who has a Brother scanner, or multifunction printer, would benefit from the latest updated brscan5 driver, and would bring us up to par with those who use HP, and Epson.
