We are migrating one library from custom software to Koha, and they are using
EAN-13 zero-padded barcodes (primary key in legacy system) instead of ISBN or
ISSN. Since books allready have barcodes on them, we can't change it.

To make things more insteresting, at least one barcode reader reports it as
UPC-A without first leading zero, since EAN-13 has backwards compatibility with
it.
