I can't reproduce this problem.
I have masked both pcscd.socket and pcscd.service:
$ systemctl status pcscd.socket
○ pcscd.socket
Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit pcscd.socket is masked.)
Active: inactive (dead)
$ systemctl status pcscd.service
○ pcscd.service
Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit pcscd.service is masked.)
Active: inactive (dead)
But restart works fine (no restart and no error):
$ sudo invoke-rc.d pcscd restart
$
I can also reinstall the package with no error:
$ sudo dpkg -i pcscd_1.9.5-1_amd64.deb

I note I get the same error if I use service(8) instead of invoke-rc.d(8) to
restart pcscd:
$ sudo service pcscd restart
Failed to restart pcscd.service: Unit pcscd.service is masked.
Have you modified invoke-rc.d configuration or something like that?
What do you get if you run "sudo invoke-rc.d pcscd restart"?
Thanks
