Krita [1] is a GNU/Linux paint program for KDE that has a very rich canvas
(supprt for 16-bit or 32-bit floadt per component RGB and Lab). I see some
(very old) discussion on scanning directly into Krita [2] and a bug [3] of the
same vintage. As this program is actively maintained, I would have hoped that
things have improved since then; I also know that the developers are responsive
to questions.
On the other hand, "The kde sane frontends are still limited to 8 bits/channel,
and sane.h looks pretty insane to me..." indicates an ongoing infrastructure
problem [4].
