[Bug 723016] Re: [FFe] Please sync new upstream release 1.6.7-1 from Debian Unstable

[Colin Watson]

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.
