If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- retitle this bug from 'O:' to 'ITA:', fix the outstanding bugs and upload a new version with your name in the Maintainer: field and a

Some information about this package: Package: gpg-rsaidea Binary: gpg-idea Version: 2.2 Priority: optional Section: non-US/non-free Source: gpg-rsaidea Version: 2.2 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.1-2), gnupg Filename: pool/non-US/non-free/g/gpg-rsaidea/gpg-idea_2.2_i386.deb Size: 10660 MD5sum: bfe99201132dba1cf2192bd8e070ceb6 Description: IDEA (PGP 2.x-compatible) module for GNU Privacy Guard This package contains an extension module for the GNU Privacy Guard (GPG), adding support for the IDEA cipher algorithm. RSA and IDEA are required to support standard PGP 2.x keys fully with GPG (RSA only will do for signature verification though). . IDEA is also the default cipher used by PGP 2.x, and is required to decrypt data sent by someone using PGP 2.x, to encrypt data for a PGP 2.x user, and to sign if you have a passphrase on your PGP secret key (the passphrase is encrypted using IDEA). NB you can use PGP to remove the passphrase, copy the key to GPG, and add a passphrase with GPG, and still sign without IDEA. . IDEA is unfortunately patented with big restrictions in Europe and the USA - please see /usr/share/doc/gpg-idea/copyright.
