Yep, I've got a bug open for that change [1].

Ah, interesting, I've updated the package to 2.6.1.

Sure, I've changed the phase name.

Great, I've gone ahead and pushed these patches as

Thanks for taking a look!

[Message part 6 (text/plain, inline)]

These patches make it possible to use gnome-boxes, at least for the
simple virtual machine I tried to run.

Previously, I was stuck with the following error:

  Unable to start domain: unsupported configuration: this QEMU binary
  lacks smartcard passthrough mode support



Christopher Baines (4):
  gnu: Add softhsm.
  gnu: Add libcacard.
  gnu: qemu: Add libcacard as an input to enable smartcard support.
  gnu: spice: Add libcacard as an input to enable smartcard support.
