Package: lcdproc
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Package is missing files and functionalities about USB

As a baseline, sources are here https://github.com/lcdproc/lcdproc/tree/master 

Problem #1
Locally merge PR #200 and #201 (especially #201 for USB interface)

Problem #2
The debian package is missing the /etc/LCDd.conf configuration file, obviously 
nothing can work without it.
File is in the root of git master.
While you're in it, change the "DriverPath=" line with the proper directory 
like /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lcdproc/ for instance.

Problem #3
The package was not compiled with USB support, meaning except if you have an 
old PC with a parallel port and an adapter to do some bit banging, it's 
useless...
you need to install both libusb-1.0-0-dev and libusb-dev then:
./configure --enable-libusb --enable libusb-1-0 --enable-drivers=all

Problem #4
Mixed up the init.d between the server and the client... fix it:
cp scripts/init-LCDd.LSB /etc/init.d/LCDd
cp scripts/init-lcdproc.LSB /etc/init.d/lcdproc

Thanks.
