It could also be added to the laptop task, which would mean it would be
installed by default on all laptops that are installed with debian-installer
Alternatively, d-i has some hardware detection functionality, to install
the correct drivers for hardware that is found. One could add entries
for supported fingerprint readers to the hardware detection in d-i, and
then install the necessary packages.
The hard part, however, is configuring all this so it works correctly
out of the box, also for users who don't want to use it.
