Package: libusb
Version: 2:0.1.12-8
Usertags: origin-ubuntu

If docbook-xml is installed, libusb fails to build from source with
errors from jade. The problem is that docbook is not necessarily
installed transitively. libusb build-depends on docbook-dsssl which in
turn depends on docbook OR docbook-xml. docbook-xml only suggests
docbook, which seems to be actually required for jade. Thus, if
docbook-xml is installed, it satisfies the dependency of
docbook-dsssl, and docbook is not pulled in (as required).

I propose to add docbook as an explicit build dependency to libusb.

This error was encountered on a Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy system. I checked
against the sid repository, and the same error seems to be existent in
there, so i am reporting here at bugs.debian.org.
