If it's not too intrusive and everyone involved agrees, I don't mind applying patches to the package, so feel free to feed me some patches to review.

And if you do package a forked OpenSC, please have it play nice with my own packages :) > Of course, this is all only valid for the modified OpenSC part; the > documentation and the applications will remain separated.
