I have confirmed that the patch attached to this e-mail makes
network-manager-applet’s libnma library load its data from the store
and not the profile.  This fixes nm-connection-editor from
network-manager-applet as well as gnome-control-center which
previously required modem-broadband-provider-info and iso-codes to be
installed in the profile.

I am still working on packaging USB_ModeSwitch which some USB modems
require.
