Yes, or rather, this has been happening to me too. I vaguely remember
seeing another bug report on this as well (one with enough analysis that
I didn't see any point in me-tooing it - I can't find this bug report
now though), in which the reporter said that the initscripts checked if
the USB modules were already loaded, and something changed in the kernel
that caused this check to succeed even if the USB modules were not
loaded. Meanwhile, 'modprobe usb-controller' and 'modprobe
usb-controller1' brings everything up as far as I can see, which
indicates that it is not a kernel problem as far as I can tell.
The bug you're referring to is closed now, so presumably it's the same
problem, and presumably it's fixed in the latest initscripts. (Thanks!
Haven't had time to update and test yet myself, but the reporter's
closing comment sounds promising.)
