I originally filed the bug that got FireGPG removed from Lenny, and I
just wanted to say that I absolutely support its reintroduction to the
archive. FireGPG was removed because the old version had security flaws
and it was too late in the Lenny release cycle to contact upstream to
cherrypick the fixes from their svn. However, they seem to have a
receptive upstream and it's a very useful plugin for firefox.
