Package: libusb-0.1-4
Version: 2:0.1.11-7
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hello,
libusb version 0.1.12 is available. According to the web site:
The current stable version of libusb is 0.1.12. This release fixes a
variety of bugs, some of which are important. It is highly
reccomended to use this version.
I guess it is also important to have the bug corrections in Debian.
I also noted some problems with some of your debian/* files.
debian/rules:
=============
You have a "touch $@" for "configure-common" but a
"rm -f configure-common-stamp": note the two different file names.
The problem is that you can't run debuild(1) two times consecutively since
the configure-common rule will not be executed the second time and you
will have the error:
[...]
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub
since config.sub have been remove by the clean rule but not recreated by
the configure-common rule.
I propose the patch:

This is because you use "libc-dev" instead of "libc6-dev | libc-dev"
