Since this issue was first raised, all the new support has been done
avoiding wvdial, but moving all the distributions which already used it
to their distro specific way is really slow, as it implies installing
(once again) a quite great number of distros/versions.

However, it isn't a "crap! it broke my config!" bug, it's only a matter
of not using the ideal way for doing this, which will be fixed with some
time/patience
