Package: libusb-0.1-4
Version: 2:0.1.10a-21

With kernel 2.6.14, /dev/bus/usb looks ready to replace usbfs. Ideally, 
libusb would check for /dev/bus/usb's existence, and use it if present. 
However, currently libusb checks for /proc/bus/usb first, and uses it if 
available. It only uses /dev/bus/usb if /proc/bus/usb isn't mounted. 
Since /proc/bus/usb is mounted by standard init scripts, this means 
that /dev/bus/usb won't be used. This could be solved if libusb reversed 
the order of its checks, and used /dev/bus/usb first, with /proc/bus/usb 
serving only as a fallback. Once this is done, packages that used usbfs can 
begin to adapt to udev and the new /dev/bus/usb, which solves a number of 
problems.

Thanks,
Christopher Martin
