In the changelog of pciutils 1:2.1.11-15.3, Christian Perrier applied a
patch by Colin Watson which stripped the subsystem ids. That changelog
is dated 3 Dec 2005.
pciutils (1:2.1.11-15.3) unstable; urgency=low

* Changes merged from Ubuntu patches:

- Reduce pciutils-udeb's copy of pci.ids by over 100KB by removing
subsystem ids, which I don't think we need in the installer, and
comments.
