Regarding usbutils and pciutils: these are not needed at compile-time
if you pass in the correct configure switch to set the {pci,usb}ids
path.
The {pci,usb}ids databases are however needed by udev on runtime and
they are traditionally shipped with {usb,pci}utils, so that's
something to keep in mind.
On Arch (as well as on Gentoo), we deal with this by shipping the
databases in a separate package[0], and dropping the dependency on
{pci,usb}utils. Maybe that's something other's would benefit from too.
Cheers,
Tom
