That seemed to work, making

-rw-rw---- 1 nut nut 3784 May 7 10:39 /etc/nut/ups.conf
and
-rw-rw---- 1 nut nut 1544 Feb 18 2015 /etc/nut/nut.conf
went to /etc/init.d and restarted everything
root at coyote:init.d$ service nut-server restart
root at coyote:init.d$ service nut-clent restart
root at coyote:init.d$ service nut-client restart
root at coyote:init.d$ service ups-monitor restart
root at coyote:init.d$ upsc myups
(I recall this is the right call to get an instant status)
Init SSL without certificate database
Error: Driver not connected
So something is all aglay yet...
active stuff in ups.conf
[myups]
driver=usbhid-ups
port=auto
offdelay = 120
ondelay = 150
mode=standalone is all thats in nut.conf.

Aha, some crawling around on the floor, I moved the cable to a different
usb port on the breakup, and now it shows up in an lsusb!
restarted everything, and now a upsc myups, gets me a report, ending with
this:
ups.load: 22
ups.mfr: Belkin
ups.model: Belkin UPS
ups.power.nominal: 1500
ups.productid: 0751
ups.serial:
ups.status: OL CHRG
ups.test.result: Done and passed
ups.timer.shutdown: 0
ups.timer.start: 0
ups.type: offline
ups.vendorid: 050d
So I believe I'm in business if systemctl starts it on a reboot.
However I get this at the top of a upsc report:
Init SSL without certificate database
Which I've not recalled seeing in wheezy.
And the common certs are installed.
