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.

Can we please keep libusb0.1 for packages where it not feasible to port hem to the libusb1.0 - especially as there is zero information how to do it?(I'm seriously considering embedding libusb0.1 otherwise into avarice)

Thanks.

Adding Jeremy Bícha in Cc: who took the decision about raising the 
severity to serious.
