The dbus service would be a HAL singleton, and we could obviously use a different implementation that could drive Authentec readers, or any other, given a sane API. > While not very relevant to the interaction, it's mostly important so > that we don't make assumptions of hardware capabilities that may or may > not be present. > > > Can it's presence be detected automatically?
