I think it is a very good idea to make a package to make using this
device easier, but: I doubt it is a good idea to just bundle all of the
different source packages together. For example, we have opensc 0.11.2
already in Debian. Of course, it might end up that there is one package
where you need a very specific version, but in the general case,
"Depends" should be enough. (And, BTW, once this is done I'm interessted
in sponsoring it.)

Agreed.
