Ah, I have not. However, this setting was not present in 2.6.21-rc3, from
which configuration I ran 'make oldconfig'.
Make oldconfig does ask for this feature:

And I chose the default, breaking (my version of) lsusb, on Ubuntu Edgy Eft.
I enabled USB_DEVICE_CLASS, and lsusb worked again.
Thank you both for your quick answers!
Please consider this patch which clarifies the need for USB_DEVICE_CLASS:
