I checked the 2.5.1 source code I compiled on my main machine and the 
code mentioned in that commit is there.

I proceeded to install Debian unstable on another machine, and then 
installed gnupg and scdaemon from experimental (both version 2.4.5),

I don't know what else I can do now to test this any further.

Thanks for any assistance.
