The chain of packages which produces this message is most likely pam_krb5 -> libkrb5 -> pkinit-nss -> nss -> coolkey -> pcsc-lite. If you want to quiet that message without running pcscd (break that chain), the simplest way is to remove either the pkinit-nss or coolkey package, because those packages provide plugins rather than direct library dependencies.
