[Pkg-gnupg-maint] building GnuPG udebs with --enable-minimal

[Thijs Kinkhorst]

Hi d-i-devs,

I've made a change to GnuPG packagaging that uses the --enable-minimal flag 
when building the udebs, an option that GnuPG has grown somewhere between the 
time the udebs were originally created and now, and disabled some other stuff. 

The options now passed to build the udebs are
  --enable-minimal --enable-rsa --disable-nls --disable-regex
  --disable-gnupg-iconv --disable-gettext --without-iconv
  --without-readline --without-zlib

These are the space savings:
 128K  gpgv-udeb_1.4.16-1_amd64.udeb
 123K  gpgv-udeb_1.4.16-1+exp1_amd64.udeb
 347K  gnupg-udeb_1.4.16-1_amd64.udeb
 236K  gnupg-udeb_1.4.16-1+exp1_amd64.udeb

Packages implementing this change are available here:
http://people.debian.org/~thijs/gpg/

The question to you is: do you think this is an at all useful thing to do, and 
if so, do these packages work for you and shall I include it in the next GnuPG 
upload?

(Please keep the pkg-gnupg-maint Cc'd in any followups.)

Cheers,
Thijs
