I still have a Lenny system -- it's the ony one that will talk to my
scanner. When Debian's USB driver started to enforce more of the USB
protocol, it could no longer communicate with the scanner, which issued
the wrong code to indicate it was done acanning and transmitting
results. The wrong code killed the entore trasaction.

As for my wheezy server, instead of LTS I'm planning to add devuan
repos. After a complete backup on the same drive so I'll have a
dual-boot between the backup wheezy system and the devuan one.
