Uhm... well then ideally there should be some pcscd-common package with
sets up the groups and stuff that is used by all pcscd/ifd-handler
packages... (and all of them depend on it).
Sure you can never know whether an admin manually added something to
these groups... but that's also the case with all other Debian packages
that add their own group and that remove it on purge.
The pcscd group may have been created by hand by the admin for whatever reason.
Maybe he installed pcsc-lite by hand at some point. Maybe the system is using a
pcscd group for something else.
I think the appropriate way would be to:
a) Print a message when any groups/etc are removed
b) Perhaps even ask the user via debconf whether he want's that removal
(b) might be a bit overkill though.
I think it is safer to just do nothing.
I also do not like when a package do not remove every thing after purge. But I
hate when a package breaks my system.
I do not plan to fix this bug.
Bye
