I don't like the idea of installing udev just to be able to read some documentation of another package... Installing and the removing udev can be somewhat involved. > > Can't the pcscd init script somehow check if udev is running, and if not, > > use > > --force-reader-polling ?

That's what pcscd uses it for, and that's what --force-reader-polling works around if it's missing. > Maybe you could tell me why you do not want to install udev? I prefer a static /dev, and I have not had a good reason yet to change that. Note that udev is Priority: optional, so it's perfectly reasonable not to install it. Anyway, it's your package, so it's your decision. I'll build an udev dummy package for now, to satisfy the dependency.
