I've updated the wiki entry about Tails supporting the OpenPGP smart
cards from kernelconcepts.de.

https://tails.boum.org/todo/support_OpenPGP_smartcards/

If Tails starts building from Debian Wheezy the packages 'libccid' and
'pcscd' should be enough to make things work with the Gemalto USB
shell Token (A USB smart card reader) that is popularly used with
OpenPGP cards.

A group of developers at the Guardian Project have been updating their
PGP key management practices to include using an
longterm-offline-master-key while keeping subkeys on OpenPGP smart
cards. The tails distribution seems a natural choice for managing
offline GPG keys since it wipes the RAM after use. We are documenting
the process at https://gist.github.com/gists/3420017.
