I suspect it's handled by blazer_usb (or nutdrv_qx, which will eventually
supersede the blazer* drivers). My heuristic is that the wDescriptorLength in
the lsusb output (47) is too short to be parsed by usbhid-ups (so the UPS
probably has a built-in USB-to-serial converter).

I am surprised that the blazer_usb configuration didn't work. If you leave off
the matching options, does this find the UPS?
[upsonicRT1000]
driver=blazer_usb ## or nutdrv_qx
port=auto
desc="UPSonic RT1000"

^ Should match here.
I am not sure if the Ubuntu packages include a proper entry for this UPS (since
a vendorID of 0xFFFF isn't valid). Can you check to see if there is something
like this at the end of /etc/udev/rules.d/*-nut-usbups.rules?
ATTR{idVendor}=="ffff", ATTR{idProduct}=="0000", MODE="664", GROUP="nut"
If so, was the UPS USB cable plugged in before or after the package was
installed? I think a lot of the packages are missing a post-install command to
reload udev, so the workaround is to plug the USB cable in again after
installation.
