Package: libusb Version: 0.1.11-5 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch, d-i Let's call this an important wishlist bug (important for Debian Installer anyway :-)
Please add the following line to your shlibs file: udeb: libusb-0.1 4 libusb-0.1-udeb (>= 2:0.1.11) This will allow dpkg/debhelper to properly set the dependencies for udebs that depend on libusb. Please see #345472 and #345475 for further info on this. It would be very much appreciated if this change could be implemented soon. The attached patch implements the necessary changes: - add --add-udeb option for dh_makeshlibs which autogenerates the udeb: lines for the shlibs file - this requires debhelper 5.0.22 I've also updated debian/compat to level 5, in line with the debhelper dependency and dropped the "Recommends: hotplug-udeb" as that udeb is obsolete. I've checked the debdiff for the libusb deb and udeb against current versions and there were no unexpected changes. TIA, Frans Pop
