it supports the libusb-0.1.10a, but you can't use pkgconfig to detect
openobex with this version.

As you stated above it is not upstream at the moment.

No. The libusb needs to be fixed, because it is their bug not to install
a libusb.pc file. The only other option is not to install the openobex
pkgconfig file at all.

Maybe from pkgconfig people, but people that detect openobex by themself
and others that use openobex.m4 it would be bad to not include libusb
support only because of a missing libusb.pc file.
And as I said, make the upstream libusb maintainer to release a new
version that includes libusb.pc or tell the package maintainer to fix
their package. It seems the Ubuntu guys did, so no big deal.
