u3-tool build-depends on libusb-dev, but actually only use it on !linux 
(unless you force --enable-libusb). And it FTBFS on hurd, so maybe the 
best is to just drop the build-depends.

Not sure that exists. One option could be to look at a package like 
avrdude (just because i looked at it not a few hours ago) which has 
support for both libraries.
