Hi,

ponyprog has a build-depends on libusb-dev, which corresponds to the
libusb 0.1 library and is now deprecated in favor of libusb 1.0. It will
eventually get removed, likely for forky.

Fortunately ponyprog already supports libusb 1.0, and actually uses it
through the build-depends on libftdi1-dev. Could you please therefore
replace the build-depends to make it explicit? The following patch is
enough for that.
