/sbin/lsusb is provided by usbutils-0.70-1.1

I was finally successful in getting my USB camera to work today (bug 
#150985) and
a tool I found to be really useful was /usr/bin/hal-device-manager  from 
hal-gnome-0.5.4.cvs20051111-1
I don't understand why it isn't available in the 
Applications->SystemTools menu.

I also have a Sandisk usb not showing up on my Desktop. 
hal-device-manager is seeing it OK, but I don't see any 
"info.capabilities" key which is required for it to match the policy in:
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-storage-policy.fdi.    I don't 
know who is supposed to
set info.capabilities for storage devices - udev perhaps?
