My Yubikey has arrived today.  Working fine in Debian without any trouble.
Worked inside Virtualbox too.  I setup a Drupal website [0, 1] to test the
login process using a Drupal username, Drupal password, and Yubikey's
one-time-password and it just worked.  The login was quick too.

Here is the dmesg output:
