Could someone merge usb-modeswitch from Debian - currently usb-modeswitch from Ubuntu 14.10 (and 14.04) doesn't work with latest usb-modeswitch-data releases and doesn't support lots of Huawei (and other) modems :(

I'd say this is in progress right now: the merge is pretty much done;
but before I go ahead and upload, I'd like to do a bit more testing on
the package. I've uploaded it to my PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~mathieu-tl/+archive/ubuntu/nv-build/+sourcepub/4397785/+listing-archive-extra

Note, this means you'll also need to install the usb-modeswitch-data
package from utopic-proposed yourself.

If you've been having issues with "generic" Huawei devices and that's
the piece you need from usb-modeswitch 2.2.0; then please see if you can
help me out with testing the above package. I'll get back to it this
evening.

Regards,
