Public bug reported:

when running make it fails with the error message quoted below.
we should discuss if it is desirable to always use the latest&greatest technologies if this means breaking backward compatibility.
at the very least we should offer a branch (in the git sense of the word, i don't know how bzr calls it) that works on some "baseline" distribution, and I strongly suggest to use the current Ubuntu LTS release as baseline.
it should not be necessary to run an unreleased development version of Ubuntu to get involved into Simple Scan development.

Below is the current make error message, probably introduced in the following commit:
