The udev rules file is shipped with usb-modeswitch-data, so I need to
install it from usb-modeswitch-data.

Frankly, I am not actually sure if usb_modeswitch_dispatcher is really
needed for the USB_ModeSwitch service type. In much earlier (2010)
versions of USB_ModeSwitch
(<https://web.archive.org/web/20100921062014/http://draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/usb-modeswitch-data-20100826.tar.bz2>)
the UDEV rules file referred to usb_modeswitch_dispatcher. It does
not do so anymore, instead it apparently uses usb_modeswitch directly.
I will ask in the USB_ModeSwitch forums tomorrow if the dispatcher is
needed. I will also ask about an option for specifying the config
file. usb_modeswitch has one, usb_modeswitch_dispatcher does not have
the option.

Florian
