hwdb does not use the usb.ids from the usbutils package.

However, hwdb only contains vendor, product, class, subclass and
protocol. So if you drop usb.ids the rest of the information will be
lost.

Maybe split the rest out into a separate file and ship only that? Or
is there a way to get this info into hwdb? Kay?

Also, I just realise there is also lsusb,py, which I did not port.
What is the usecase for this? Is it also worth porting over?

Cheers,

Tom
