That's because you didn't log with the two additional options that I requested.

The first option is -L/path/to/logfile. Note that this is an uppercase L. This 
option does two things. The frist is to write the log directly to a known file 
in order to isolate brltty logs from any other logs, and also to add timestamps 
to the log. The second is that it avoids any syslog redirection and/or 
filtering of debug logs, which is often done.

The second option is -ldebug,usb,inpkts,outpkts. Note that this is a loercase 
l. This enables the relevant log categories so that we can see the needed 
information.

And, as requested before, please capture this debug log on a Linux system 
(which'd be your Debian system).

I'd appreciate it if you could please capture and send us the debug log rather 
than give us guesses and assumptions.
