Oh, okay. I didn't know we had libusb-compat either. Thanks for
clarifying!

The last patch LGTM, but I'm still hesitant to add it without an actual
in-tree user. Will you submit the 0xFFFF package? It would be good to
have it as an explaining comment near the libusb-0.1 package definition,
so future packagers don't have to ask the same questions. Unmaintained
and (seemingly) obsolete software is also prone to sudden removal :-)
