I don't favor either way; generally ruby-usb has very low popcon.

libusb (0.1.x) vs. libusbx (1.0.x) situation doesn't seem to be decided;
currently both libs are in sid, with a slight favor of rdepends on libusbx.

I'm CC'ing the original packager in hope of some insight.

If nobody with some love for it shows up, I'd say replace ruby-usb
with the new libusb gem.
