Bug Description

Binary package hint: hwdata

/var/lib/usbutils/usb.ids
  Date: 2010-06-06 20:34:19

/usr/share/hwdata/usb.ids
  Date: 2010-01-07 20:34:10

Could be a good idea to keep them in sync :) (and maybe update to a more recent version)

Fedora doesn't have /usr/share/misc/usb.ids, hwdata is the only package that
provides usb.ids.
...
Ubuntu needs to decide which usb.ids they want to keep and just drop the other
one during packaging.

Changed in hwdata (Ubuntu):
