Package: usb-modeswitch
Version: 1.0.7-1
Severity: wishlist

I wanted to set up a laptop running lenny to be able to use a usb mobile
broadband connection. In order to do this, I had to install
usb-modeswitch to have the device flip into modem mode when plugged in.

The version of usb-modeswitch in squeeze drops its udev rules in
/lib/udev/rules.d, which lenny's udev does not appear to use. So I had
to also upgrade udev to squeeze's version to get usb-modeswitch to
function.

It would be helpful if usb-modeswitch would depend on an appropriate
version of udev; since squeeze currently contains such a version, 150-2
would be fine by me if you don't want to work out exactly which version
first added support for /lib/udev/rules.d.
