he module in quesion is debianized:
Subshell:alex@syjon:[~]:8:> apt-cache search gpg-idea
gpg-idea - IDEA (PGP 2.x-compatible) module for GNU Privacy Guard
Signature verification problems are due to the minor incopatibiliies between
PGP 2.x and GPG (in areas not clearly defined in RFC2440).

Install the module and migrate to using GPG - it is perfecly possible to
use PGP 2.x key in GPG (been there, done that).
