[Merge] lp:~mathieu-tl/ubuntu/oneiric/usb-modeswitch/lp824147 into lp:ubuntu/usb-modeswitch

[Chase Douglas]

There's multiple changes here. It feels like there should be multiple bugs being fixed, or at least a separate commit for each change. I don't think this is a blocker, but it would be easier to digest what all is going on.

Why the change of the tar command?

Otherwise everything looks sane.
