 Hmm.  Reverting to "devel/libusb" (0.1.12), the daemon no-longer spams
 local users on the monitoring host with "Communications restored..."
 messages.
 
 Said host has no other users of any libusb* packages, so libusb-0.1.12
 is fine for it.
 
 On apcupsd slave systems, it doesn't need USB support at all, so perhaps
 include an option to disable USB support entirely, if the libusb-compat
 shim can't be used.
 
 That way other packages which can use libusb-compat can coexist with
 apcupsd on said slave systems.
