OK, that's definitely too old for libusb-1.0 :)

You'll probably be best served to upgrade to v6.x first -- migrations
across as wide a gap as v5.x -> v7.x often won't work well. I think
archive.debian.net should serve as an apt source for this. But once
that's done, a dist-upgrade from v5.x -> v6.x, a reboot, and then a
dist-upgrade to v7.x should work fine. (At least, I've got
continuously-upgraded Debian boxes which have been upgraded from a
point far older than that -- though they never had to jump across such a
gap at any point.)
