It isn't.  But the answer could be relevant to a lot more questions
and could provide more helpful guidance.

Firstly the output of lspci -v gives a lot of detail that is not
relevant to USB.  I was just thinking of something which would say
what is relevant and what isn't.

Secondly we often see people _answering_ questions with a request to
send the output of lspci -v and if the question in the FAQ were more
broadly scoped a lot of that could be avoided.

Thirdly when people ask questions on the list they often won't have
any way of knowing whether the problem they're seeing is a 'bug' or
not so there's reason to ask if the bugs section will have been read.

Fourthly, what's a 'bug'?  Problem in the driver?  The kernel?
The firmware?  The USB specification? ...

73,
Ged.
