Thanks, Debian is frozen for release, but new versions can go in
experimental for the time being. The plan is to fix the configuration
options and minor typos in the manpage for the version in testing, and
release Jessie with 4.7.0. If any specific, important bugs, we can
include them in Jessie.

However, I notice some nice fixes!

- Changed the configure build system to make it impossible to build
more than one device in if the chosen driver was meant to be used
standalone, along with more explicit tagging of standalone drivers in
the configure help. This should make it easier to choose a more
suitable configuration for distribution packaging.

If you are familiar, could you explain this? Why should we not be
using system libusb?
- Added yet more warnings suggesting not to use the system libusb in configure.
