Have you looked for and/or reported the bugs you found?
It works for me pretty much "out of the box" with ubuntu/feisty, less so
with earlier releases.
Here are the problems I found and what I had to do to fix them:
* gnupg was trying to use pcsc-wrapper at the wrong location (see bug
#68047, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnupg2/+bug/68047 ).
It is installed in /usr/lib/gnupg2 rather than /usr/lib/gnupg where the
scd is looking for it. This can be solved either by copying the file,
or with a symlink. This seems to have been fixed in feisty.
* Another was that the ssh-agent support is not enabled out of the box.
This may be enabled by editing /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent and
adding "--enable-ssh-support" in the appropriate place (around line 17).
*The final thing I needed to do was to install the package
libpcsclite-dev. This installs the symlink /usr/lib/libpcsclite.so,
linked to /usr/lib/libpcslite.so.1.0.0. Or of course, you could create
that symlink yourself. This also appears to have been fixed in feisty,
though you do still need libpcsclite1 (and pcscd).
