Although it's probably smaller.
As network-manager is the reason why usb-modeswitch is in the default desktop install (which makes sense) - does size really matter here? NM pull in a lot of libraries and tools, without checking it I'd guess that adding tcl or jimtcl as dependency doesn't make it worse as it is.
