Well, nominally-standard

I have been checking packages, and it was significant that most library packages 
which ended in "0" were broken in some way, ignoring the intent or the actuality
of soname versioning.

Regarding libusb, it is probably a correct way to name the package.
The library name is "libusb-0.1" an the soname is "4", adding a hyphen in
between was probably just to make it readable.
