The commit message for this from 2013 was "Propose pcscd for any smart
card reader."  I assume it map to any smart card reader.  I do not
remember any more how I came up with this idea.

> Why add only these 2 devices?

To be honest, I have no idea.  I am working my way through the list of
hardware->package mappings in the isenkram modaliases file, to try to
get them all into appstream.  My best guess is that those are the USB
ids of smartcard readers I had access to before 2013, which was when
those two were added to git.

> pcscd itself does NOT support any reader. You need to install one (or
> more) driver(s).  The "default" driver is libccid and has support for
> 679 readers

Aha.

> What should I do?

Perhaps locate relevant modalias strings using

  cat $(find /sys -name modalias -type f) | sort

And then figure out glob matching rules for sensible classes of hardware
that should cause Debian to suggest to install pcscd when seen.
