Failed to restart pcscd.service: Unit pcscd.socket is masked.
invoke-rc.d: initscript pcscd, action "restart" failed.

but I just noticed reading now the error above I effectively masked the
socket without masking the service :/
My bad.
I had to install pcscd to use a smart-card reader once in a while,
however I noticed that having pcscd running and/or starting anything
using pkcs11 was taking _seconds_. I didn't want to remove the service,
however I probably disabled socket by tabbing one-too-many times.
