Looks to be included here:

$ dpkg -c linux-headers-3.0.0-12-generic_3.0.0-12.20_amd64.deb | grep "include/linux/usb.h"
lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2011-10-07 13:16 ./usr/src/linux-headers-3.0.0-12-generic/include/linux/usb.h -> ../../../linux-headers-3.0.0-12/include/linux/usb.h

$ ls /usr/src/linux-headers-3.0.0-12/include/linux/usb.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-3.0.0-12/include/linux/usb.h

Closing this for now.

[Andy Whitcroft (apw)]

It is possible this is in the headers but not in the linux-libc-dev headers package. Will check.

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Temporarily re-opening while we investigate linux-libc-dev...

[Andy Whitcroft (apw)]

Ok confirmed that although the header is in the kernel header package it is not packaged into linux-libc-dev. From what I can see this is an upstream issue as the kernel build misses this header out when installing. Will try and acertain why it would be elided.

[Andy Whitcroft (apw)]

This header was restored at least as far back as precise. So am closing this out fixed.
