Package: libccid
Version: 1.4.18-1
Severity: wishlist
I've recently purchased a Yubico Yubikey 4 which I'd like to use with gpg.
Reading the changelog for libccid on the website, it appears support for this
device was added in 1.4.20. However, backporting just /etc/libccid_Info.plist
from the package in stretch is sufficient to make 1.4.18 talk correctly to a
Yubikey 4. Would it be permissible within Debian's rules to update the package
in stable to add this support?
It would be really nice if this device Just Worked on Debian stable with the
installation of the relevant packages.
Thanks for all the effort you've put into this.

No. It is not possible to update a stable package for that.
Debian stable is called stable because it is ... stable.

It will be the case in the _next_ stable version of Debian.
Just wait.
Thanks for all the effort you've put into this.
Thanks you.
Bye
