I'd really prefer that. 1.4.1 has been released more than 6 weeks ago
and fixes quite some bugs we figured out in 1.4.0.  The case with
1.4.0 was that people don't care anymore about RC releases and start
complaining only after a real release; thus we expected 1.4.1 to be
released soon after 1.4.0 (it actually took more time but this should
be common to Debian folks ;-)

Important things fixed in 1.4.1:

    * New --rfc2440-text option which controls how text is handled in
      signatures.  This is in response to some problems seen with
      certain PGP/MIME mail clients and GnuPG version 1.4.0.  More
      details about this are available at
      <http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2005-January/024408.html>.

    * When running a --card-status or --card-edit and a public key is
      available, missing secret key stubs will be created on the fly.
      Details of the key are listed too.

    * Added countermeasures against the Mister/Zuccherato CFB attack
      <http://eprint.iacr.org/2005/033>.

> * Update to 1.2.8.  This would either require an epoch, or it would

There is no 1.2.8
