If you do want to use USB information, then the best solution is to take it directly from sysfs (better than mounting debugfs). Almost all information in /proc/bus/usb/devices can also be found in sysfs. See the usb-list script I recently added for installation-report for example code how to walk through sysfs correctly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
