Absolutely, but I'd think it'd be better if Zetes would pursue this. I
planned to contact them, but wanted to have a good look at what they
actually changed before I'd do that.
I should note, though, that I want to have these packages in Sarge. If
that means I have to provide a forked OpenSC to be able to do that, then
that is what I'll do.
Of course, this is all only valid for the modified OpenSC part; the
documentation and the applications will remain separated.
