<p>One thing that annoys me with Debian and Linux distributions in
general, is that there is a great package management system with the
the relevant packages in Debian, and uploaded a new version
2.2013.01.09 to unstable. I also discovered that the current
<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/discover-data.html">discover</a>
-package in Debian no longer found any USB devices, because
-/proc/bus/usb/devices no longer is present, and ported it to use
-libusb as a fall back option. The fixed package version 2.1.2-6 is
-now in experimental.</p>

<p>If this idea seem useful to you, and you want to help make it
happen, please help me update the discover-data database with mappings
