Assuming it doesn't make more sense to post your fix so that Dr. Rousseau can put it into the official packages, what you want to do is:

  1. Use 'apt-get source pcscd' to get the official Debian sources. You probably want to grab the testing or unstable versions, because I don't think 1.3 is in stable.
  2. Make your changes. Build process changes will be made in debian/rules. Source code changes are made in the unpacked code.
  3. Tweak the debian changelog (debian/changelog) to change the package version and document what you've done.
  4. Go into the pcsc-lite directory and run 'fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage'
  5. Install and test the resulting .debs.

Hope that helps,

Shawn.
