Needed by gdm

This package was never stable, and cannot be required directly as it is pam module.

No idea why it is required by gdm.

It's required by the gdm pam module (the exherbo one in this case):
$ grep -r pkcs11 *
data/pam-exherbo/gdm-smartcard.pam:auth [success=done ignore=ignore default=die] pam_pkcs11.so wait_for_card card_only
data/pam-lfs/gdm-smartcard.pam:auth     requisite      pam_pkcs11.so wait_for_card card_only
data/pam-lfs/gdm-smartcard.pam:password required       pam_pkcs11.so
gui/simple-greeter/extensions/smartcard/gdm-smartcard-manager.c:#define GDM_SMARTCARD_MANAGER_DRIVER LIBDIR"/pkcs11/libcoolkeypk11.so"
