well, not sure it is possible to install the modemmanager deb without
having network-manager installed ... 

wrt your upstart config you would simply put the new start on/stop on
lines you want it to use in your .override file, i.e.:

start on startup
stop on runlevel [!2345]

or some such ... you never edit .conf files directly, an update of teh
package would either just revert your changes or cause a debconf prompt
to review the diff.
