Debian packages using libopensc at runtime (and libopensc-dev at
compile time I guess):

$ apt-cache showpkg libopensc2
[...]
Reverse Depends:
  opensc,libopensc2 0.11.7
  mozilla-opensc,libopensc2 0.11.4
  libopensc2-dev,libopensc2 0.11.12-1
  libopensc2-dbg,libopensc2 0.11.12-1
  esteidutil,libopensc2
  opensc,libopensc2
  mozilla-opensc,libopensc2 0.11.0
  libopensc2-dev,libopensc2 0.11.4-5+lenny1
  libopensc2-dbg,libopensc2 0.11.4-5+lenny1

So packages that would fail to compile would be:
- mozilla-opensc: Mozilla plugin for authentication using OpenSC
http://packages.debian.org/sid/mozilla-opensc

- esteidutil: EstEID smartcard management tool
http://packages.debian.org/sid/esteidutil
