This will not happen in Debian as the tarball is the only database shipped as official package (and I don't see why one would like to have the flat database). > I think this would be consistent with your proposed patches, right?

The Debian usb-modeswitch-data package already ships the empty /etc/usb_modeswitch.d folder, and its usage is documented in the /usr/share/doc/usb-modeswitch-data/README.Debian file. :-) Cheers, -- OdyX
