Both PGP 5 and 6.5 have security issues which haven't been fixed
upstream (because there isn't any upstream anymore).  There are some
pirated versions of 6.5.8 that incorporate fixes, but Debian certainly
shouldn't encourage distribution of them.

In short, better package the IDEA module for GnuPG...
