You'll soon have 69 packages still using libusb 0.1, I've updated qlandkartegt and filed the RM bug for garmindev. > I have filled this bug to start warning people that they should switch > to the new version (hence the severity wishlist for now), however > depending on the number of packages still using it around freeze time, I > will decide if we keep the package for stretch or not.

I don't see a future for the garmindev package with upstream having switched his focus to qmapshack. Keeping qlandkartegt a little longer is good thing, but we can do without its garmin plugins I think.
