As it turns out, that was quite a lot of noise indeed - about 1/3 of
the ~3300 line diff, from my visual scan-and-chop. Apologies for the
delay, but I've finally managed to carve out a block of time to handle
this.
I did notice that some of the changes result in differing output from
invocations of gnupg in some circumstances - I hope we don't end up
with further updates if those turn out to break other tools.
I know you mentioned that the changes shouldn't affect gpgv
(particularly as used in d-i), but the udeb still means that the upload
needs an explicit ack, so I've CCed KiBi and tagged the bug
appropriately.
In terms of whether the update should be pushed via stable-updates, it
looks like we'll be freezing for the next point release in a week's
time, so it may not be worth the extra work at this point.
Are you planning on handling the enigmail upload as well? I can't see
an open p-u bug for it so, given the timings, would suggest that start
getting progressed ASAP so that we can make sure that it makes the
point release.
Regards,
Adam
