[Nut-upsdev] [Nut-upsuser] LibUSB-1.0+0.1 testing wanted, NUT 2.7.5 pending

[Jim Klimov]

Great news, and thanks for stepping up to help with the packages!

I think the NUT CI farm should try i2c on debian and derivatives, so gotta
check what it dislikes about EL7. This branch did bump the default
--enable-warnings=medium level since it was "solved" on all of the many
tested systems, so that change could also play a role and would be nice to
fix before a release (but hopefully not related to libusb changes).

For versioning - yes, it is a quirk in our autotools scripts that it
appends further version text (.1-count_since_tag-commit_hash) after the
base ("2.7.4" from configure.ac) when building from git source and not
tarball.
