Ok, Mathieu knows most about this and if he thinks this is sensible then
let's do it for 14.04 (not sure why it got so late though...)

Title:
[FFe] merge usb-modeswitch 2.1.1+repack0-1 from Debian unstable
Status in “usb-modeswitch” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
The usb-modeswitch package that we have currently in Ubuntu 14.04 is totally
outdated - ver 1.2.3 is 2 years ago (not updated since 12.10 !!!).
7 releases have been pushed since then and added new features and bugfixes.
I therefore ask to sync 2.1.0 from Debian testing or sid - there are no bugs
reported against usb-modeswitch in Debian and there is lots of bugs in current
Ubuntu package :(
I suggest simply sync package from Debian and drop all Ubuntu-specific
patches, because usb-modeswitch has build-deps only on jimsh and libjim-dev
from jimtcl source in universe.
I think it's easier to include jimtcl package (written in plain C) to main
archive instead of maintaining own implementation of usb_modeswitch_dispatcher.
Also new usb-modeswitch 2.x has upstart and systemd integration!

error abort before;

- Drop the code copy of jimtcl.
