Support for /proc/bus/usb has been dropped because it is racey, and permissions are difficult to set -- compared with /dev/bus/usb which is maintained by udev and doesn't have these issues.
Ubuntu is not the only distribution to have dropped it.
If your software is using /proc/bus/usb, it is broken -- you've had over a year to change it, and you've failed to do so. Please change your software to use /dev/bus/usb now.
I've rejected your sysvinit bug; this is deliberate and is definitely not a bug.
Also your assertion about using /sys is entirely bogus - no devices exist under /sys.
