Ok, so let's go with a modified version of libusb.

For the release managers, I have uploaded a fixed version of libusb to
testing-proposed-updates. Here are the changes:

diff -u libusb-0.1.10a/linux.c libusb-0.1.10a/linux.c

My tests show me an improvement of 7% with some USB 1.1 devices and 19%
for some USB 2.0 devices. I don't found that insignificant.
