Package: flashplugin-nonfree Version: 1:3.7 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The Debian packaging of gnupg has changed significantly, in that gnupg is now a metapackage pulling in the whole gpg suite. However it is my understanding that the current implementation of flashplugin-nonfree only uses basic gpg verification functionality, and depending on the whole suite with its several services is inappropriate. If you release an updated version of the flashplugin-nonfree package based on the same design as currently, please adjust the dependency to the gpg package only instead of gnupg. And regardless of the current situation with the flashplugin-nonfree package, it would be nice to release without waiting a new version keeping up with the new dependencies. Many users - including me - will suspect that uninstalling the package will break their still currently working flash setup, and will be reluctant to do it to fix the gnupg dependency issue. Alternatively, please release a new version which, for now and until someone steps up to revive the package, disables the dead code and these dependencies and allows users a smooth way forward without fearing to break their setup or interfere with the management provided by the package. Best regards,
