What does kleopatra without gpgsm?

However, gnupg is a security related software. If the gnupg upstream
maintainers think that it's tested enough for wide usage (and including in
Debian _is_ just that), why is it considered ALPHA-grade?:
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/
Unless gpgsm is in Sarge, kleopatra should not be in Sarge. Maybe the source
for it can be split so that it can be easily served by an external
repository?
OTOH, if gnupg-1.9 has security-related bugs, it would be replace by
gnupg >= 2.0? We could also end up with an incompatible thing that noone
really wants...
