I have tried it again and actually it worked fine, except it misses some
HAL rules so that the system detects the modem as such (eg. for use with
NetworkManager).

Actually, I have already made ozerocdoff conlict with usb-modeswitch,
but wanted to ask you before asking for the package to be uploaded but
totally forgot in the meantime, sorry about this.
Do you think I should remove this conflict? I do agree with your
comment, but would personally rather bet on safety and make these
packages conflict.
What do other think?
Cheers,
