--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
gtk-update-icon-cache [...]: This command updates the system-wide GTK+ icon cache since Simple-scan's build system does not update it to account for the icons that it installs.
