It looks as if the qemu source contains the one canonical copy of
libcacard.  The separate 'libcacard' package has the following sources
file:

$ cat sources 
189bc5b87281a72f8c72a0f7ebaa6d00  qemu-1.2.1.tar.bz2

So probably the 'libcacard' package should be removed.  I'm not
exactly sure why it exists in the first place.  Perhaps the library
was originally separate?
