I currently have not time to help porting packages to libusb 1.0. And I 
haven't seen any work from Jeremy besides bumping the severity.

Therefore let's downdgrade the severity of the corresponding bugs to 
important. I might revert that to serious once the list of affected 
package is much smaller. Actually raising the severity has already 
helped to make some packages to switch to libusb 1.0 and  led to the 
removal of some unmaintained packages from the archive.

Yes, I agree this is way worse.
