Could you please describe why you're interested in working on
getting libnfc into Debian now that we have The Linux NFC Subsystem?
I'm willing to bet my money on that the latter is the one who will

While the Linux NFC subsystem might indeed have the best chances to
survive on the long term, I think currently libnfc is in a better state.
The NFC subsystem only appeared in Linux 3.1 and still has a long way to
go before it equals the functionality of libnfc. I couldn't find
equivalents of relatively simple programs like nfc-mfclassic. I also
think it's nice to be able to update libnfc independent from your
kernel, especially since NFC development (in general) has quite a high
pace nowadays.
Besides, there are applications that require libnfc. That is because
they either were designed before the NFC subsystem was born, or need to
be compatible with other operating systems too. I'd be a shame if we
couldn't package those applications for Debian.
Cheers,
Oxan
