The current desktop profiles amd64/2006.1/desktop amd64/2007.0/desktop x86/2006.1/desktop x86/2007.0/desktop don't have the usb useflag turned on by default, nor have their parents. Only the amd64/2006.0 has it activated, but that one doesn't have a "desktop" profile. If this won't get changed for the current profiles, it should at least be default for the 2008* profile. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Oops, it's not only amd64.
This is changed in the 2008.0 development profile for x86. As such, I'm marking this as InCVS for now. I'll be creating a patch for other arches.
Added to the tree... Sorry for the delay.
