> Commit de30205ba0f63eb987097a9f47b6e4fd38cd9044 added a pcscd service

Thanks for catching and fixing this! I am still in the process of
building and testing your patch. I ran out of memory and had to `guix
gc' and rebuild again. As you said, it takes a while. But, your patch
LGTM. Please go ahead and push to master at your discretion, after
addressing Ludo's feedback.
