The packagers for Libchipcard also use a special group for the chipcard daemon (don't remember the name right now), but it might be a good idea to also change that to a generally agreed name. Also, I know of at least one CTAPI driver which uses another group for permission management due to the lack of a general card reader group. Having *one* group for all drivers and APIs would very much simplify things...
