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.)
