Description
### Problem / Motivation
Currently only available via AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brscan4).
### Proposed Solution
Requesting inclusion in the CachyOS repo for the same reason as brlaser — trusted build/signing instead of relying on AUR PKGBUILDs pulling vendor binaries.
### Alternatives Considered
_No response_
### Additional Context
I have tried sane-airscan and it did not pick up up the scanner.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked AUR brscan4 package and the existing brlaser packaging referenced in the issue. Then check the CachyOS distribution's process for adding packages and verify how the vendor binaries are built and signed. Done means brscan4 is accepted into the CachyOS repository with trusted packaging.
