   sysvinit/trunk/debian/initscripts/etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh
Log:
Do not mount usbfs any more, it was deprecated long ago.
Applications should all use /dev/bus/usb, which can be managed more
flexibly (assign permissions with udev, and the like). Thanks Martin
Pitt. Closes: #483392, #422940, #360165, #471101
