As it turns out, that was quite a lot of noise indeed - about 1/3 of the ~3300 line diff, from my visual scan-and-chop. Apologies for the delay, but I've finally managed to carve out a block of time to handle this. I did notice that some of the changes result in differing output from invocations of gnupg in some circumstances - I hope we don't end up with further updates if those turn out to break other tools. I know you mentioned that the changes shouldn't affect gpgv (particularly as used in d-i), but the udeb still means that the upload needs an explicit ack, so I've CCed KiBi and tagged the bug appropriately. In terms of whether the update should be pushed via stable-updates, it looks like we'll be freezing for the next point release in a week's time, so it may not be worth the extra work at this point. Are you planning on handling the enigmail upload as well? I can't see an open p-u bug for it so, given the timings, would suggest that start getting progressed ASAP so that we can make sure that it makes the point release. Regards, Adam
