Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: udev
In Intrepid, udev is still passing /proc/bus/usb device paths via
$DEVICE, long after /proc/bus/usb was deprecated and removed in favor of
/dev/bus/usb.
Steps to reproduce:
1. `sudo udevadm monitor --environment`
2. plug in a USB device
Expected result:
in udevadm's output, $DEVICE should refer to a path under /dev/bus/usb
*Actual* result:
in udevadm's output, $DEVICE refers to a path under /proc/bus/usb

Example output:
udevmonitor will print the received events for:
UDEV the event which udev sends out after rule processing
UEVENT the kernel uevent
