But is anything except USB using that?  This is an area it'd
be good to see RedHat, SuSE, and others agree, but I'd take
SuSE as a start.

Also, you're discarding the kernel setting for $DEBUG; maybe
it shouldn't be there, but if you want to discard that feature
a kernel patch should happen too.

That is, /proc/bus/usb/001 directory exists?  Yes, better!

There's still the issue of needing to get USB partly
started _very_ early in boot, for systems with only
USB input devices.

Have you looked at what issues would come up from
(optionally) running /etc/hotplug/usb.rc from system
startup, /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit (or whatever)?

Those seem like good things to keep in an /etc/sysconfig
file (and somewhere you had a Debian version, too).


I'll see about merging this, most of it looks fine.
