[Bug 503119] [NEW] fix openct package - migrate from hal to udev

[Andreas Jellinghaus]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openct

ubuntu dropped hal in 9.10/karmic without fixing openct package -
as you can see in the file list it provides information using fdi files
to hal, so it gets called when a matching usb token/smart card reader
was plugged in. without hal that doesn't work.

in 2007 openct switched from udev to hal as suggested by kay sievers
as hal solved many issues we had with udev (see bug hotplug-devel
in july 2007 for example). so if ubuntu dropped hal we need the
openct package in udev to revert to the udev rules files.

Thanks to Scott James Remnant and Martin Pitt for helping on irc 
to figure out the new syntax / rules for udev.  Now we have a new
set of rules for openct:
wget http://www.opensc-project.org/svn/openct/trunk/etc/openct.udev.in
and openct_usb.in and replace those files in the source code etc/
directory with the updated copy.

if you prefer a patch, or want me to release a new version of openct
to help the situation, please let me know.

also I can help with testing new packages, or provide hardware for
testing.
