  Description     : Command-line and interactive tool for the YubiHSM 2

The YubiHSM 2 is a Hardware Security Module that is within reach of all
organizations.  It provides advanced cryptography, including hashing,
asymmetric and symmetric key cryptography, to protect the cryptographic keys
that secure critical applications, identities, and sensitive data in an
enterprise for certificate authorities, databases, code signing and more.

This package contains a command-line and interactive tool for working
with a YubiHSM 2.


We're in the process of starting to use a YubiHSM in Freexian.  Upstream
does provide their own Debian packages, but given that there's no
licensing obstacle I'd prefer to have this in Debian.  I have the
hardware and I intend to maintain this as part of
https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-security-team (compare
https://bugs.debian.org/1074007).

The upstream yubihsm-shell source package builds a number of binary
packages (libyubihsm*, libykhsmauth*, yubihsm-pkcs11, yubihsm-shell,
yubihsm-wrap, and yubihsm-auth).  Their layout looks reasonable to me
and I'll try not to be gratuitously incompatible with it.
