u3-tool build-depends on libusb-dev, but actually only use it on !linux (unless you force --enable-libusb). And it FTBFS on hurd, so maybe the best is to just drop the build-depends. > To ease migration, are there documents around that describe the > changes required for the transition, or at least code that was changed > accordingly so other people can learn from?

One option could be to look at a package like avrdude (just because i looked at it not a few hours ago) which has support for both libraries.
