After a dist-upgrade using "-proposed" the root can use the USB devices. I tried chmod 666 /dev/vboxdrvu and the user can not still use USB devices.

I am exploring the /dev but I would wait some comments before provide chmod 666 to these files (and moreover after each reboot the files came-back to the original permission settings!)
