ok, if we add it, please sync isdnutils again from unstable/testing
(fixing the pppdcapiplugin and isdnactivecards package). On the CD we
should have:

- isdnutils-base, ipppd (for the old ISDN modules)
- libcapi20, pppdcapiplugin and isdnactivecards for the active and AVM
  cards
- misdn (currently packaging)

Can we disable the loading of the new misdn modules by default? They
seem a bit unstable at the moment, so this should be an optional module
which is not dicovered by default.

For ISDN Fax support a resync of hylafax and capi4hylafax would be nice.
gfax currently doesn't have ISDN CAPI support.
