Package: avrdude
Version: 6.2-5
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

avrdude has a build-depends on libusb-dev. A few years ago upstream
has released a new major version libusb 1.0 with a different API which
aims to fix design deficiencies with USB 2.0 and 3.0 in mind.

The old libusb 0.1 package is not supported upstream anymore and should
be considered deprecated.

If avrdude supports the new libusb 1.0 library, please consider
switching the build-depends from libusb-dev to libusb-1.0-0-dev. If not
please inform upstream that porting the software to the new API is
recommended.

Thanks,
Aurelien

So far the upstream relies on "0.1 API compatibility wrapper".[0] The
libusb 0.1 API "is required by AVRDUDE in order to work with USB".[1]
