I don't know much about this stuff, but I've been told that on the 2.6
kernel, lack of usbutils results in hotplug complaining that it "can't
synthesize root hub events". After that report, I made hw-detect
apt-install usbutils when apt-installing hotplug. I think that's a
better place than usb-discover, probably. So this bug can be closed..
