To answer my own question, usbhid-ups from svn works just fine against
upsd from 2.0.4, provided I set the port name to the same as the ups
definition in ups.conf, eg:

[UPS1]
 driver = usbhid-ups
 port = UPS1

I guess the socket name format has been changed from <driver>-<name> in
2.0.4 to <driver>-<port> in svn. Fortunately the port name appears to be
irrelevant in the usb drivers so changing it doesn't present a problem.

I'm not yet running the upsmon stuff, but mrtg is now graphing based on
the output from upsc and everything looks sensible.

Thanks for your help!
