I'll try your version out.
I went through this pain when I bought a document scanner some years ago - there was no good solution on Linux that would let me from the command line scan, clean, OCR, and output a PDF. I found lots of scripts like yours, but none that was complete. I finally took an existing Perl script and hacked it to my needs.
Features one should have:
1. Output to PDF.
2. Option to OCR (optional)
3. Clean up (e.g. skip blank pages, straighten pages, etc)
4. Allow one to specify quality/dpi
5. Select grayscale vs color
6. Duplex vs single page
7. Dynamically recognize the size of the page.
The last one is the one I'm missing - if I scan something long, it trims it to fit a Letter size page.
