Sorry I didn't respond before now, I've been unfortunately busy with
the real life and I'm way behind. I will get to this tonight or
tomorrow. When is the release date? Or am I too late?

Thanks for the patches!

I've applied for membership :) I've been on mailing list for quite a
while now. I'm not that keen moving the gnupg2 repository to
subversion as I spent quite a long time moving my packages from svn to
git and I've fully drunk the kool aid in that regard :) Thanks for
your help triaging bugs.

One thing I would love to see for Squeeze is the two versions
controlled by alternatives.
