No, there is no other reason. I only created pcsc-lite-bootstrap to
avoid a circular dependence between ccid and pcsc-lite.

I thought about this too. As far as I understood, the usbdropdir of the
ccid package is where it installs its drivers, and the usbdropdir of the
pcsc-lite package is where it expects to find drivers.

Good idea. I'll add a usb-drivers configuration field and send an
updated patchset.
