Without this file the USB reader is not detected when inserted, and a manual reload/restart of the pcscd is required, that requires administrative privileges.
Looking at the script it seems to make some effort to call pcscd --hotplug, that forces detection of the newly inserted reader.
Please either add this file to the package, or rework the rules file to call pcscd --hotplug.
