[Bug 1550719] Re: Add output of usb-devices when ubuntu-bug linux or apport-collect'ing existing report affecting linux (Ubuntu)

[Brian Murray]

The recommendation in comment 7 was actually to use usb-devices not
cat'ing /sys/kernel/... as appears in the description.

Title:
  Add output of usb-devices when ubuntu-bug linux or apport-collect'ing
  existing report affecting linux (Ubuntu)

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  What is expected to happen is when an original reporter files a report via a terminal:
  ubuntu-bug linux

  or performs an apport-collect to a report that is affecting tbe linux (Ubuntu) package, apport automatically gathers the following command and adds it as an attachment:
  usb-devices

  Lsusb is not sufficient. Upstream bluetooth maintainer requires the output of:
  cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices

  Without this information patches are never accepted.

  Please add this output to apport.

  If needed, I can provide a patch, but it is very straight-forward to
  add.

  The is motivated due to the circumstances surrounding the following report, and future bluetooth bugs reported:
