Yup, I needed smart card packages for my own purposes and Tails had
already been interested in supporting this.

I just emailed Ludovic and CC'd you. A squeeze-backport would
definitely be the right solution until Wheezy is here. I'll try my
hand at it if Ludovic doesn't respond.

As Clean Room develops hopefully we can merge some of the work from
that back into tails. I know I will use the pcscd packages in Tails
for pgp mail when I don't have access to my own computer.
