Thanks to the wonders of git packaging and gitlab shared runners, it
only took an hour or so to build bullseye packages for 2.2.40 and 2.4.0
via gitlab.  See how to test the packages below.  This uses upstream
gnupg2, libgcrypt, libksba, libgpg-error from salsa with no changes,
built using the latest tag that is also in unstable+testing but on
bullseye images.  For v2.4, only the gnupg2 package was rebuilt on the
tmp-ametzler-v2.4 branch suggesting that it works.

Of course, this is work in progress...  See
https://gitlab.com/debdistutils/packages/cicd-config for background.

I'm sure we could finalize this into stable URLs and sign the apt
repository using a GnuPG key if people find this interesting.  I would
find packages for Trisquel aramo useful myself, I'm not sure the
bullseye packages work directly.

To install version 2.2.40 follow this:

```
podman run -it --rm debian:bullseye
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade -u -y
apt-get install -y ca-certificates
echo "deb [trusted=yes] 
https://gitlab.com/debdistutils/packages/libgpg-error/-/jobs/4092717327/artifacts/raw/aptly
 bullseye main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libgpg-error.list
echo "deb [trusted=yes] 
https://gitlab.com/debdistutils/packages/gnupg2/-/jobs/4092793555/artifacts/raw/aptly
 bullseye main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnupg2.list
apt-get update
apt-get install -y gnupg2
gpg --version
```

The expected output after all the installation noise should be:
