I have just tried to 'force' openct/pcscd to work with the (minimum) 
available list of packages and quickly realised that this is completely 
futile!

The pcscd daemon simply refuses to work if either HAL or D-Bus is not 
installed and running.

That in itself means that I have to install an additional set of about 
23 packages, which makes the whole exercise completely pointless. Until 
there is a way for me to reduce the number of dependencies (either by 
using a stripped-down version of pkcs11-tool or find another tool which 
does the simple job of reading a data token from the smartcard) it won't 
be possible to embed the smartcard tool into initrd/initramfs. A sad 
state of affairs! Any ideas anyone?
