If the architecture is not 32-bit arm and the library is installed for that architecture, it should catch that first via the `/usr/lib/$ARCH-linux-gnu/libpcsclite.so` template and return. The only potential issue seems to be if, for some reason, an unusable arm32 pcsclite library is installed and not one for the architecture itself, which seems very unlikely.

Good to know. If there is a way to pick it up, I'd be happy to add it, but I'm not aware of it and don't have access to a Debian arm32 system to test on.

Done.
