This is wrong.
The Belgian electronic ID card needs a smartcard driver; either PCSC,
OpenCT, or CT-API will indeed work. The government removed the OpenCT
and CT-API drivers since they don't sell any cardreaders that use those;
however, that doesn't mean the card won't work with other cardreaders.
Since my cardreader does, in fact, use the OpenCT driver rather than the
PC/SC one, I re-added this driver to the beid packages. Disabling the
driver afterwards would be rather silly.

I'll see if I can make libbeidlibopensc2 stop those warnings, then.
That's a better option than to remove a driver for no good reason.
