Details

Package usbutils gives the upstream URL shown by 'pacman -Qi'
as http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/ but after a lot of digging around
there it's not obvious if the modern source of usbutils remains
or a reference to where it is now.

Instead, I think the URL should be https://github.com/gregkh/usbutils#readme
as this is where the author tags releases, e.g. 'v010', and issues raised.

Note, this isn't suggesting the package's upstream source be altered
from kernel.org's tar-file releases, just the link used to learn about
upstream.
This task depends upon
