I would be very very happy to leave the openwrt package management to
someone else truth be told :D

Please note I moved the openwrt packaging setup to fd.o gitlab not long ago:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/mobile-broadband-openwrt

Whenever these are integrated in openwrt, I'll just remove that repo I guess.
