Bug Description
Thanks for merging new upstream to natty, as it's a new release which doesn't need to run as root (and has other enhancements upon the old one we have)

Hello all,
I think this package should be synced because:
- It brings, together with new ccid (see LP: #723013) support for a lot of new stuff and recent hardware, including some currently involved in mass testing (test programs of electronic purses, for example in Bordeaux) and being not able to use them into Ubuntu leads users to use Win.
- It doesn't run as root anymore and runs on demand: better for security, and for computer load.
- It is today in natty under a really old version (which I think is important for developers): according to ChangeLog from source, the Natty version is from 24 June 2009.
