Hello,
From version 1.4.100-2 pcscd depends on hal [1], but the LSB headers in
the init script doesn't show this dependency. This should mean that
when using the dependency based boot [2], pcscd isn't started after hal.
Exact.
I wrote "should" because while this is true on my sid (/etc/rc2.d/ has
S20pcscd and S21hal), I cannot reproduce it on a minimal cowbuilder
chroot (/etc/rc2.d/ has S12hal and S12pcscd).
pcscd should be installed at level 50.
debian/rules contains:
# use 50 to start _after_ usbmgr with level 45 (see #146151)
dh_installinit --update-rcd-params="defaults 50"
My /etc/rc2.d/ contains S50pcscd
The patch is trivial and attached: according to [3], I think
Should-Start/Stop are the correct keywords, because AFAIK hal is
necessary for USB readers only, so PCMCIA ones shouldn't require it
(unfortunately I don't have a PCMCIA one here ATM, so I cannot confirm).
Moreover, pcscd doesn't fail to start if hal isn't present, but it only
print a message:
I guess that USB hotplug will then _not_ work.
Here's the patch against the SVN repository (tested on my sid):
Thanks.

I will also remove usbmgr and hotplug since these packages are no more
available in lenny.
