Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install because
it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a replaces
relation.
See policy 7.6 at

From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

Description: mode switching tool for controlling flip flop USB devices
Several new USB devices have their proprietary Windows drivers onboard,
especially WAN dongles. When plugged in for the first time, they act
like a flash storage and start installing the driver from there. If
the driver is already installed, the storage device vanishes and
a new device, such as an USB modem, shows up. This is called the
ZeroCD feature.
.
On Debian, this is not needed, since the driver is included as a
Linux kernel module, such as usbserial. However, the device still
shows up as usb-storage by default. usb-modeswitch solves that
issue by sending the command which actually performs the switching
of the device from usb-storage to usbserial.
.
This package contains the binaries and the brother scripts.
