Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
There is a conflict between the LFS and BLFS rules. LFS already names USB
devices (basically the first rule but with NAME=... instead of SYMLINK),
thus, the BLFS rule should be:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GROUP="usb"
But, that's insecure. The "usb" group must die (it was a hack invented by
me in order to avoid the dependency of SANE on Hotplug). Rules of the
second kind (matching on vendor and product IDs are already a part of SANE
package, but are not installed in BLFS (that's a bug). For libgphoto2,
there is a Debian-specific patch that adds a generator for such rules.
As for the /proc/bus/usb mount point, it would be nice to list an example
of an application that does require it: VMware.
