Was there really no process during Gutsy (and Hardy nearly already) for
these bugs?

Re-opening the sysvinit task:
I'm not affected by it myself, but I wonder why we cannot just enable the magic 
to make it work by default, from /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh (code commented 
out by default):
        #
        # Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
        #
        mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
        domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs 
-obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
        ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
        mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb

It does not appear to be really frown to permission issues, because it
links to the udev controlled interface.
