Can't anyone follow the suggestion of creating an extra openssh-smartcard-opensc and openssh-smartcard-pkcs11 that would use the opensc flag or the pkcs11 patch mentioned in this bug?

If there is no serious reason to avoid it, why is this bug open since 2005??? Come on! An experienced Debian / Ubuntu developer could have done the package in no time at all!

Could you listen to us, please? Or at least provide a satisfactory answer. Mentioning the "dependency hell" surely is not enough (not even by far!!!) when other options such as extra packages exist (and are already in use for other packages).

So, again, PLEASE, do help us and compile it with smartcard support.

Thank you.
