This shouldn't be the case when pcsc-lite is installed, since scdaemon
uses libpcsclite.so by default, and libusb interface is secondary
(although, on Debian GnuPG might be compiled differently). The "pcscd"
group exists only for pcsclite, see
http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.com/2010/09/pcscd-auto-start.html:
“The group "pcscd" should be used only by pcsc-lite so only pcscd has
access to smart card readers. The pcscd process has only gained the
minimum rights needed to do its job (instead of gaining root access).”
