I am not sure it's a good idea to switch to libusb-compat, it's just
switching from a dead library to a half-dead library, with the risks of
introducing new bugs.

Anyway there is still many blockers left until the libusb-0.1 removal,
so while it's still a long term goal to get it removed, it probably
won't be achievable for buster.
