You should not need the .so file at runtime, but only during development.
That's why the .so file is in the -dev package, as for other libraries, and
as required by the policy.
Why do you need the .so file in the library package?
For applications that explicitly load libusb.so at runtime with a dlopen
call. The example I came across was in an IBM driver for a Remote
Supervisior Adapter card. Loading the lib at runtime isn't just to get round
GPL linking issues (as I first suspected) as the driver code is also
released under the GPL.
