I'll try it out tomorrow, that is if my incompetency at git and other
distractions don't get in the way. ;  I really do need to learn how to
use git, and bzr, and get a better workflow going.  Any suggestions for
getting up to speed with git?

The build depends should have a minor adjustment, gnupg2 needs
libgpg-error-dev >=1.15 and not 1.13.

I built packages for Ubuntu 14,04 and they are on Launchpad, but I
should probably hold off telling anyone about them until you have
uploaded to experimental and I merge the changes.  One thing I
enabled was gpgtar and used help2man to make a man page.  I also
had to disable the genkey1024.test test because the build was timing
out on Launchpad.  I suspect it is an issue with entropy.  Do you have
any issues like that using Debian's build systems?

I broke RTMP, an adobe library, in the curl packages to work around
the dependency issue with libgnutls and that breaks gnash, a GPL flash
player and I am not sure what else yet.  A big part of the problem is
Debian is using the old GnuTLS for libgnutls-dev and some packages
haven't made the change to libgnutls28-dev for the 3.2 branch.

I am trying to fix the RTMP issue, but not having much success thus far.
