That's not a very sensible reason.  The Xsane interface itself is useful 
without Gimp.  For example, it can be used in the "Copy" mode to send a 
scanned document directly to the default system printer without the 
overhead of opening Gimp.

I just added a note to the bugzilla report 122985 to that effect.
