   * Fix "pcscd should rely on dh-systemd to enable the socket" let dh-systemd
     do its work. The package already Build-Depends: dh-systemd
     (Closes: #748047)
+  * debian/pcscd.{postinst,postrm}: remove these now useless files.
+    The /etc/readeer.conf file is no more used since 1.6.0-1. These files
+    can be removed since wheezy (actual stable).
