Sorry. I think I should definitely get this package updated and into
shape.

I'll check upstream and update the packaging. We should probably put
this this under the gnupg maintainer's umbrella too, since y'all are
more connected with what's going on in gnupg land than I am. I was in
charge of it primarily for historical reasons, and until you pointed out
that upstream was updating it, I thought it had died upstream...

Right.

The attackers hadn't simply robbed the bank. They had carried off
everything portable, including the security cameras, the carpets, the
chairs, and the light and plumbing fixtures. The conspirators had
deliberately punished the bank, for reasons best known to themselves,
or to their unknown controllers. They had superglued doors and
shattered windows, severed power and communications cables, poured
stinking toxins into the wallspaces, and concreted all of the sinks
and drains. In eight minutes, sixty people had ruined the building so
thoroughly that it had to be condemned and later demolished.
