I would be doubly wary of letting a new upstream version of a package into
testing as an NMU.  If James agrees that 1.4.1 is the way to go for sarge, I
would probably be willing to go with it since we know gnupg gets heavily
exercised by developers; otherwise, I think we're going to need backports
for the bugs in question.
