Bug Description

I've faced this lsusb output from usbutils 012 in Ubuntu 20.04, having incorrect names in some devices, as can be seen below:

```
Bus 001 Device 012: ID 0eef:c002 D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd HD USB Camera
Bus 001 Device 014: ID 060e:0960 Transmonde Technologies, Inc. HD USB Camera
Bus 001 Device 019: ID 0b05:1939 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. HD USB Camera
Bus 001 Device 018: ID 04b8:0e28 Seiko Epson Corp. HD USB Camera
```

$ lsusb --version
```
lsusb (usbutils) 012
```

This got fixed after I updated usbutils to 014, from its GitHub repository:

```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev -y
git clone https://github.com/gregkh/usbutils.git
cd usbutils
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
```

$ lsusb
```
Bus 001 Device 012: ID 0eef:c002 D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd eGalaxTouch P80H46 1160 vT4_M05 k4.10.143
Bus 001 Device 014: ID 060e:0960 Transmonde Technologies, Inc. 4010E
Bus 001 Device 019: ID 0b05:1939 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. AURA LED Controller
Bus 001 Device 018: ID 04b8:0e28 Seiko Epson Corp. TM-T20III
```

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please perform as much as possible of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

Changed in usbutils (Ubuntu):
importance: Undecided → Low
status: New → Fix Released

Thanks for answering and clarifying about the SRU Procedure, I'll take over there. The SRU Procedure reference link you added is broken, though. Can you provide a link for this?

Let me ask a question, though. If this is occurring on LTS version, shouldn't this be also updated like latest development version of Ubuntu?
