[Pkg-gnupg-maint] gnupg 2.1.0 in debian experimental

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

hey folks--

i uploaded the 2.1.0 release of gnupg2 to debian experimental today.

here's my blog post about it:

 https://www.debian-administration.org/users/dkg/weblog/110

The middle section of the blog post talks about the unfortunate timing
for the debian freeze, and points out that i'm not currently seeking to
put this package into jessie.

however, if other folks on the team are willing to consider supporting
2.1.x as gnupg2 for jessie instead of 2.0.x for gnupg2 for jessie, then
i'd be willing to consider bringing it up to the release team.  This
would mean we'd have a chance at being able to deal with ECC OpenPGP in
jessie.

It's possible that the release team will say "no way", of course, and
that will probably settle the matter.

What do y'all think?  Is this worth considering?  what are the tradeoffs?
