I think this would be great. We have images of the box fronts in many cases,
between LUGNET and Brickset, but not often do we have the backs!

I think Kevin welcomes submission of "better" scans and does use them
whenever possible. However I forget the details of how exactly to go about
submitting scans to him... There is some documentation but it may be out of
date. Note that he's a busy boy and doesn't always update things
instantaneously. (who does? :-) it's a hobby, as you and I know, although
that's not what I told the lady at Tuesday Morning this morning)
See this blurbage:

but note that it was last updated in 1999.
