In addition to previous concerns in this thread addressed in
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2010-February/010691.html
, it seems the upstream is convinced that the usb-modeswitch is
needed, and kernel quirks are not either enough or the way to go:

I think the udev package's modem-modeswitch point is anyway very
relevant, if it's obsolete and somewhat broken. It's currently
included in Ubuntu's udev package.
