USB ID's database ================= usbutils now use the udev's hardware database to associate a full human-readable name to the vendor ID and the product ID. If your device is not or wrongly recognized by lsusb, please fill a bug against the udev package and not against usbutils nor usb.ids. usbutils depends on usb.ids to provides /usr/share/misc/usb.ids for packages that needs it, but it does not use this file. The dependency will eventually get removed.
