It's a minor detail.  It came as a surprise, but I just wanted to see a
release, so I tested Peter's changes when he did it and it was fine.  That
was that.  lsusb was a bad idea even if it isn't installed.  I don't see a
strong enough reason to make yet another change, even if we don't like the
name, and I'd be annoyed at having to test another name change, no matter
how long/short.  Like you, I think lengthening the name even more with a
libusbx_ prefix would be a bad idea, regardless of completion.  I'd prefer
to keep it as-is, if possible, now that it's done.
