Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.1-1
Severity: normal
gnupg is getting complicated, and that imho risks security. even
though the man page clearly says it's only a summary, a clear man page
will help mitigate the risk.
for example, the web says:
* Two new commands --hidden-recipient (-R) and --hidden-encrypt-to
encrypt to a user, but hide the identity of that user. This is
the same functionality as --throw-keyid, but can be used on a
per-user basis.
please make this clear in the man page.
example #2: the description of ! and = in specifying keyids is not
sufficient to know what the difference is. can this be elaborated?
let me know if i am using the wrong severity. i have far bigger issues
with gnupg, and this is only minor to me in relation.
