[Bug 1550719] Re: Add output of usb-devices when ubuntu-bug linux or apport-collect'ing existing report affecting linux (Ubuntu)

[Pilot6]

Lsusb is not sufficent. Upstream maintainer require output of

cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices

Without this information patches are never accepted. It is needed make
record of all devices with Cls, Sub, Prot fields

usb-devices command provides the same information in a shorter form and does not require root permissions.
Ubuntu has this program by default.

You can see that all commits in the kernel git adding new USB decices
contain this info.

Title:
  Add output of usb-devices when ubuntu-bug linux or apport-collect'ing
  existing report affecting linux (Ubuntu)

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  What is expected to happen is when an original reporter files a report via a terminal:
  ubuntu-bug linux

  or performs an apport-collect to a report that is affecting tbe linux (Ubuntu) package, apport automatically gathers the following command and adds it as an attachment:
  usb-devices

  Without this information, bluetooth device patches can't be committed
  upstream.

  Please add this output to apport.

  If needed, I can provide a patch, but it is very straight-forward to
  add.

  The is motivated due to the circumstances surrounding:
