This is as far as I can see not an upstream bug, but merely a versioning issue.
usb-modeswitch depends on "usb-modeswitch-data >= 20110227-1~", but it turns out that usb-modeswitch-data's version is in fact 20131113-1. But I'm guessing that that the ending ~ might trick the package management system.
