The only reason I know of for 'preserving' an old version is if there is also a newer one, i.e. libusb-1.0.1, which is a ~ version. On my ~amd64 machine I had both libusb-0.1.12-r5 and libusb-1.0.1. I just deleted the 0.1.12 and revdep-rebuild found and rebuilt usbutils, hal, and sane-backends with no problems, so there seems to be no reason to have the old version unless you perhaps have the new version masked on your machine for some reason?
