Well it's not that outdated, it just dates from before the Jessie
freeze. I haven't updated it in sid yet, as this new version of usbutils
actually get rids of usb.ids in favor of using the systemd database. I 
still have to see the consequences this new version will have for
non-Linux ports and non-systemd users.

I'll upload a new version which justs updates usb.ids for now. In the
meantime you can run the script /usr/sbin/update-usbids to just fetch
the latest version of usb.ids, without having to wait for a new
package.
