Package: brltty
Version: 3.10~r3724-1+b1
Severity: important

During investigation of an issue with USB in the kernel [1] I found that 
the USB busses on my system were being activated from suspension way too 
often. Some debugging identified brltty as the culprit.

Obviously this is not good for power usage on any system.

There has to be a better way to check for the presence of a USB brltty 
device than the current implementation...

See the attached kernel log (with USB_DEBUG enabled) for the details.
You will see a huge number of entries like this:
Aug 30 12:37:18 faramir kernel: usbdev open by brltty
Aug 30 12:37:18 faramir last message repeated 48 times

You will also see that it all completely stops at 12:37:30 which is when I 
did '/etc/init.d brltty stop'.

Host system: Debian unstable running self-compiled 2.6.27-rc5 kernel
