Another important benefit is that python-gnupg supports Python 3[*], while I
think the last upstream change to python-gnupginterface predates Python 3 by
many years.

Please do create the python3- version of the package.  This page may provide
some helpful guidelines on how to do this:

http://wiki.debian.org/Python/LibraryStyleGuide

I also hang out on #debian-python and am willing to help and/or answer
questions.

Cheers,

[*] 3.1 according to the documentation, but 3.2 according to the Cheeseshop
page.  Given the recentness of the last activity, and knowing Vinay, I'm
willing to bet it's 3.2 compatible and wouldn't be surprised if it even worked
with the in-development 3.3 branch.
