Sounds reasonable. For reference, what version of NUT was in SID when you tested?

I'm afraid I am just the messenger - @bigon (Laurent Bigonville, on GitHub) is a Debian maintainer of NUT, and he was pointing out the bug report filed with Debian:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=738122

With other drivers, we sometimes see the "did not claim interface 0 before use" error if a driver gets out of sync with its PID file, and two copies of the driver are running. So maybe remove the PID file and start the driver again? It should be possible to detect this condition.
