Could you please comment on the outstanding Ubuntu delta? Here's the most recent changelog entry:

pcsc-lite (1.5.5-4ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - Move runtime libraries to /lib, for the benefit of wpasupplicant.
    - disable hal support. LP: #506908
    - add build-dep on libusb-dev, fixes FTBFS
  * debian/control: Drop libhal-dev build dependency, as we already configure
    with --disable-libhal. Using libusb instead.

In particular, the most recent Debian version still has libpcsclite.so.1.0.0 in /usr/lib rather than /lib, and since wpa_supplicant is directly linked against it that means that WPA will be unusable until /usr is mounted, even if no smartcard is needed (we know that it won't be possible to do smartcard handling until /usr is mounted, but that isn't the whole story).

The HAL-related changes also need to be merged. pcsc-lite 1.6.7-1 still build-depends on libhal-dev.

So, nack from me - I think this needs to be a merge, not a sync. Unsubscribing ubuntu-archive.
