This is not true.  The default mount point has always been
/proc/bus/usb.  Some distributions may choose to mount a usbfs
filesystem somewhere else; that's their business.  If they do then they
should make the corresponding changes to the version of libusb they
distribute.

The name change part _is_ true -- usbfs used to be called usbdevfs.  
But that was a long time ago.
