i don't think these are compatible with the DFSG, alas.

GNU readline (at least) is GPL-licensed, and opensc links against
OpenSSL.  So building a package that links to both of them creates a
non-redistributable work :(

Is there any way to have OpenSC build against some crypto libraries
other than OpenSSL (preferably licensed in GPL-compatible ways) so we
could link it to readline without violating one license or the other?

is it possible that this is due to 0.12 only allowing a single driver
backend?  I seem to see a similar regression here:

  http://bugs.debian.org/636553

Any thoughts about what a distribution like debian should do to be able
to continue to support multiple backends in a binary distribution of opensc?
