As Brian has made it clear[1] that he does not wish to follow either suggestion made by Dale Scheetz[2] (splitting the package or changing the Depends:) to ensure all executables supplied in the package run as expected, IMHO the solution is as Ian Jackson proposed: |(a) The pcmcia-cs maintainer could choose to make `cardinfo' be a |script which checked whether the appropriate libraries were present |and otherwise produced a more helpful error message.
