Manfred Hampl proposed the following answer:
An official backport does not exist so far. I do not think that there
will be problems with functionality in the kernel, but rather with
dependencies.

If I quickly look at the information on packages that simple-scan
3.17.2-0ubuntu1 (i386 binary) in ubuntu wily depends on, I see:

adwaita-icon-theme  
dbus-x11 (>= 1.6)  
dconf-gsettings-backend  
libc6 (>= 2.4)  
libcairo2 (>= 1.6.0)  
libcolord2 (>= 0.1.10)  
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0)  
libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.37.0)  
libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.9.10)  
libgudev-1.0-0 (>= 146)  
libsane (>= 1.0.24)  
xdg-utils  
zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) 

Starting with the first one: adwaita-icon-theme does not exist for
Ubuntu trusty, so you have to care for installation of adwaita-icon-
theme on your trusty system first.

Similar with libsane, trusty contains only version 1.0.23-3ubuntu3.1, but Simple Scan 3.17 requires >= 1.0.24
So you have to search for a possibility to upgrade libsane to such a version first (might be available in the PPA https://launchpad.net/~rolfbensch/+archive/ubuntu/sane-git )

Maybe you can solve the dependencies, just give it a try.
