Marking the package as fixed for the moment, as there is no further feedback since 2018. If the problem persists now within stable release 0.4, please open another issue. Thank you!

Apparently we inherited this issue from Arch. The scripts update-usbids (which updates /var/lib/usbutils/usb.ids ) and update-pciids which are provided in Debian are not included, and they are using a stale source. The current source is: https://github.com/gregkh/usbutils/releases

Arch is using hwids as usb.ids/pci.ids replacement made by Gentoo, however seems it contains more features than Debian and still under development; however Arch doesn't built it from source and uses git. For that reason, i made a new PKGBUILD that builds it from source with more features than Arch and using the latest revision since it's a database package. Could you test it if solves your issue?
