Bug#668221: seahorse-nautilus in fact is seahorse-plugins and already has a maintainer
<sarcasm>that's how a serious bug transforms into a pure wish</sarcasm>
There is a package seahorse-plugins, and it had a serious bug #638096
stating it should be adapted to gtk3 to work with gnome-panel 3.0 but,
as this did not happen, the package has been dropped from testing in
4/2011 - what else could be done? - but that also closed this
outstanding bug.
Upstream was not very busy with updating, but at least they got the most
wanted plugin, the nautilus plugin, ready, and to be able to release it
they took it out of the seahorse-plugins package and created a distinct
package seahorse-nautilus in 10/2011. Ubuntu picked it up in 4/2012, but
Debian missed it even though this bug has been filed before Ubuntu even
noticed the change.
As a distribution that signs its installation packages there definitely
should be an easy way to check signatures on downloaded debian archives,
and seahorse-nautilus provides exactly this functionality. This is no
WNPP, it is an incomplete replacement of a missing package already
considered base functionality. So please, provide it a.s.a.p.
