It seems Ubuntu made some patches for there ppp version that they think should present a solutions. However these patches seems not to be included in Debian or by you guys upstream, why is this? see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ppp/+bug/258801/comments/63 I am now going to test the connect-delay 5000 option that was also presented in some Debian bug comments.
