This doesn't look suitable for Debian. Although it can be used with GNU/Linux, it is clearly designed for Android. Debian already provides: - Linux kernel NFC stack and drivers, providing a socket interface - libnfc, providing a generic interface to many (mostly USB-attached) NFC controllers I don't see a lot of value in adding a third, vendor-specific stack that's incompatible with anything else packaged in Debian.

[...] Really? The documentation says it's specific to NXP PN5xx. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Hoare's Law of Large Problems: Inside every large problem is a small problem struggling to get out.
