    <para><command>ln -v -s ../../doc/xsane-&xsane-version;
    /usr/share/sane/xsane/doc</command>: This symlink is created to ensure that
    any program that looks for the <application>XSane</application>
    documentation in the default location will find it, as the documentation
    is installed in an alternate location specified in the
    <command>make install</command> command.</para>

    <para><command>ln -v -s /usr/bin/xsane /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/</command>:
    This creates a link in the system-wide <application>GIMP</application>
    <filename class='directory'>plug-ins</filename> directory so that users can
    access <application>XSane</application> directly from
    <application>GIMP</application>. <application>GIMP</application> must be
    available before building <application>XSane</application> for this to work.
    Alternatively, create the link in <filename
    class='directory'>~/.gimp-2.0/plug-ins/</filename> to provide individual
    user access. <command>man xsane</command> for additional information.</para>
