I have finally decided to not package libusb-compat, and keep both
versions of libusb in parallel. This way, there are less chance to break
already working application.

I'll rename the source libusb-1.0 package after removal of libusb 0.1.
BTW, the switch of all packages to libusb-1.0 could be a release goal of
lenny+1.

I have uploaded the packages to unstable, they are currently blocked in
NEW. Meanwhile, you can fetch them from http://temp.aurel32.net/libusb/

Cheers,
Aurelien
