Indeed I saw that "pcsc-wrapper" is missing completely,
it was dropped out of -kk packaging, Changelog entry, by Bernhard H.:
  * removed /usr/lib/gnupg/pcsc-wrapper as it's no longer built

It used to be in the gpgsm Debian Package, together with scdaemon.
Thinking about this: scdaemon probably is used by the agent
for OpenPGP, too, so it would make some sense to put pcsc-wrapper
and scdaemon into the gnupg-agent package.
Werner: Can you confirm?

Bernhard H.: If Werner confirms, we need to improve that package
and also send the diff to Debian "gnupg2" source,
they are still at 1.9.15-6.

Werner: I suggest to at least check for the existence of pcsc-wrapper 
to give a better error message.
