Public bug reported:
As described at the Mailvelope GitHub repository wiki here
<https://github.com/mailvelope/mailvelope/wiki/Mailvelope-GnuPG-
integration> users are able to use their local GPG keyring via gpgme-
json (rather than the included Openpgp.js library) with several popular
webmail services, provided that the gpgme-json binary is available to
the browser process. I reviewed the file lists for the binary packages
produced from this source package and found no mention of it. Upon
closer inspection of the packaging files, the d/rules has an override
for dh_missing for the file and a note in the changelog from 2018, but
there was no mention of what the circumstances were that necessitated
that decision.
If it's possible to correct the conditions that led to the file's
exclusion I think it would be well worth pursuing as e-mail becomes
evermore commercialized on top of an infrastructure that never did place
much of a premium on privacy.
I'm running the dev release of Kubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" with
version 1.13.1-7ubuntu2 of the libgpgme11 package.
