aur give this: "libusb is on the package blacklist, please check if it's available in the official repos."
Why? libusb isn't any more in the official repos.
Arch now have libusbx, but I still need libusb to at least test some software to see if it works well with it, because libusbx may be the present/future but so far officially only in Arch...
There's a script [1] that updates the blacklist in the database. After its next run, you should be able to upload libusb to the AUR.

I spoke too soon. It appears that the script also adds provides/replaces to the database, so the AUR still won't accept libusb. If it's just for testing, you can build libusb locally; there isn't much benefit to pushing it to the AUR.
