Source: libdevice-usb-perl
Version: 0.35-1
Severity: serious
Justification: FTBFS

This package FTBFS in a clean sid chroot:

   dh_auto_configure
ERROR: Can't find libusb library.

If the library is not installed, you will need to install it. If it is
installed somewhere other than /usr or /usr/local, you need to set the
following environment variables:

    LIBUSB_LIBDIR should contain the path to the libusb libraries
    LIBUSB_INCDIR should contain the path to the libusb include files

dh_auto_configure: perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor returned exit code 2
make: *** [build] Error 2

Looks like this is multiarch related; Makefile.PL hard-codes a list
of library paths to look in.
