Dear maintainer,

libosinfo depends on usbutils in order to get access to the USB IDs
database in /usr/share/misc/usb.ids. This file used to be provided by
the usbutils package but is now provided by usb.ids package as lsusb now
uses the udev database instead.

Could you please therefore switch the isenkram dependency from usbutils
to usb.ids? Like in the very simple patch below:

 # for test-isodetect
  osinfo-db (>= 0.20190411),
  pciutils,
- usbutils,
+ usb.ids,
 Standards-Version: 4.2.1
 Homepage: https://libosinfo.org/
 Vcs-Git: https://salsa.debian.org/libvirt-team/libosinfo.git

That will allow the usbutils -> usb.ids dependency to be dropped. It
would be nice if it can be done promptly before the freeze so that it
can be done for bullseye (only 2 packages are in this case). Note that
the usb.ids package is already in buster, so that it doesn't cause
issues for backports.

Sorry for the late notice, I forgot about that dependency and just got
reminded about it. Of course if you lack time, I can also do the upload
myself.

Regards,
Aurelien
