Bug description:
  usb-modeswitch needs to be merged from Debian again:

  Current 2.2.3 version in Wily has regressions with lots of Huawei
  modems, see LP bug #1441285 (Regression: Huawei E173 no longer
  recognized as a modem) and https://launchpad.net/trusty-
  backports/+bug/1407429/comments/2

  New upstream versions of usb-modeswitch (2.2.4 and 2.2.5) released 2
  months ago,  2.2.5+repack0-1 is packaged in Debian unstable/testing
  since July!

  http://draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ChangeLog

  Version 2.2.5, 2015/07/16
      Fixed bug in configuration check, possibly leading to segfault (thanks,
      Leonid Lisovskiy); fixed Pantech commandline parameter evaluation (was
      not working at all); added driver unbind step via sysfs in wrapper,
      getting rid of the USB subsystem complaint "interface 0 claimed by
      usb-storage while 'usb_modeswitch' <does this and that>"
  Version 2.2.4, 2015/07/14
      Fixed buggy check of USB configuration selection (possibly leading
      to segfault), tested with Alcatel X602D; removed call to 'libusb_strerror'
      from libusb initialization - not available in earlier libusb1 versions

  And here is debian/changelog:

  usb-modeswitch (2.2.5+repack0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
    * New 2.2.5 upstream release
    * Refresh patches
