Thanks. This is very encouraging. I would like to test this. My testing approach would probably be to prepare a Debian package of this version, based on the existing Debian package. It might be useful for me to upload such a thing to experimental so others can try it too ? Would the Debian modemmanager maintainers object to that ? I will do that upload: to DELAYED, picking some suitably cautious version number, unless I hear to the contrary. (And I'll wait at least a week for a reply to this question.)
