That's going to cause a large problem.

The entire point is that the STABLE ebuilds need to be changed,
otherwise they will try to depend on the libusb-1 series (and fail
dismally).

For switching from EAPI0 to EAPI1, if the ebuild still compiles fine,
then I see no reason that a slot dep change cannot be just put in with
the EAPI change. (The same cannot be said for EAPIx -> EAPI2, as further
changes are needed for that case).
