And why exactly udev needs usbutils? There's no reason as far as I can see

is udev not the replacement of hal ? as you can see, the utils was not installed, so we need a require somewhere (but yes not necessarily in udev, sorry
I don't see any udev rules that require any of the binaries in usbutils package. What fails when this package is not installed? Like Thierry, I don't specifically see the need for usbutils. If you could explain what is actually broken, we can maybe try and work out what the solution is.

Nothing really about udev itself. >Like Thierry, I don't > specifically see the need for usbutils.

(yes the require is maybe not in udev but in another package ? I have only guess it could be udev, since it's the replacement of hal)
I think it's just a matter of remembering when we ask people to run the lsusb command, to provide info for a bug report, to tell them to install usbutils if they haven't already.
