I opened a bug for that but I should probably add [FFe] to it because
after all we are past the Feature Freeze. Also sorry for adding
needs-packaging I probably shouldn't add that right because those
packages are already in ubuntu archives they just need updating.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-modeswitch/+bug/1296090
I used the PPA of Debian usb-modeswitch maintainer and it didn't cause
any troubles. My modem was already supported by the old packages
available in Ubuntu repos.
Below is a copy of text from Bug Description:
The upstream released new versions of usb-modeswitch and
usb-modeswitch-data on January 28th and 29th 2014.
http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/
This version supports many more usb modems than the one currently
available in Trusty besides those packages haven't been updated for a
very, very long time in Ubuntu.
The packages are already available in Debian Testing and Unstable.

Besides that the maintainer of the USB_ModeSwitch Debian package has set
up a PPA providing this most recent release.

NOTE: there is also a similar bug report from users that want the latest
usb-modeswitch on Trusty.
