Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: usbview
usbview is no longer maintained upstream and depends on the
/proc/bus/usb (usbfs) filesystem that is deprecated and likely to be
marked embedded-only in future kernel versions. Since porting it to use
sysfs would be a near-complete rewrite, and the functionality is
available from other tools such as lsusb and gnome-device-manager, it
would be better to simply remove it from the archive.
Please do so, and blacklist to prevent further syncs from Debian.
I spoke with the Debian maintainer about this:
<broonie> May as well, it's not massively useful.
You can always use lsusb instead.
** Affects: usbview (Ubuntu)
