Hi Franklin, and thanks for your bugreport,
Although I recognise that ":" and "?" symbols are somehow special on Unix
filesystems, I don't see this as a problem, because usb-modeswitch "just works"
with those files. Thus downgrading severity to wishlist (I am of course open to
discussion).
Furthermore, this is clearly an upstream issue which should be fixed there, to
ensure cross-distribution compatibility, thus tagging as such. I will make sure
upstream (CCed) is aware of the issue and eventually commenting on the
bugreport.
Is such an action schedule ("non-action" schedule…) fine for you?
Cheers,
OdyX
