Please unblock package libchipcard.

A user reported to me in private that the libchipcard plugins to
Gwenhywfar get lost on upgrade from squeezy to wheezy. The impact is,
that users that want to use AqBanking with a chipcard, AqBanking doesn't
work anymore after the upgrade. I reported this issue as #705843
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=705843

The reason is that the package libchipcard-libgwenhywfar47-plugins got
renamed to libchipcard-libgwenhywfar60-plugins, but (intentionally) no
other package depends or recommends the package
libchipcard-libgwenhywfar60-plugins.

I would like to add a transitional dummy package
libchipcard-libgwenhywfar47-plugins that depends on
libchipcard-libgwenhywfar60-plugins, so that AqBanking continues to work
for the affected users after upgrades from squeeze to wheezy.


unblock libchipcard/5.0.3beta-3


Thanks for considering,
Micha
