Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: udev

Files belonging to the usbfs file system on Edgy and Feisty all belong
to root:root.  This needs to be changed manually to make use of usbfs
from non-root programmes (e.g. VirtualBox's virtual USB).

Suggested fix:

1) Add the group "usbdrv" to the system by default.
2) modify /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules as follows:

# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
--SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device",              MODE="0664"
++SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device",                GROUP="usbdrv", MODE="0664"

** Affects: udev (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
