As Alan observed, there *is* such a file, just not one for userspace.

The lsusb.c source could stand a cleanup in that respect, but one
issue will be the fact that <linux/usb/ch9.h> (and cdc.h, etc) aren't
yet widely available.  The very newest distros include them.  Maybe
the deal is that the autoconf should be prepared to use local copies
if the distro doesn't include them...

So this is an opportunity for a motivated person to submit some
patches to make lsusb.c cleaner in that respect.  It's kind of just
grown from its original Linux 2.2 base, and various things could now
be done better.  :)
