It is required until all users of /proc/bus/usb/devices and other users of
/proc/bus/usb/* migrate to the new way of doing things.  May I remind you
that udev is not yet mandatory in Debian, so we will also have to check if
udev is active on top of checking /proc/filesystems for usbfs...

This is the sort of thing we should announce the deprecation, and schedule
for etch+1.   By that time, we will only have to support kernels that have
both usbfs AND udev-class /dev/bus/usb support, and maybe Debian will even
have to decide to go with mandatory udev (and udev will be trustable and
stable enough to actually be mandatory, anyway ;-) ).
