Good.

As far as I can tell, this is mostly how the Debian-patched usb-modeswitch 
works. But it's better if it's upstream, sure.

Agreed. 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).

Completely.

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.
