[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#814027: Provide gpgv-udeb from gnupg 1.4 on armel for stretch?

[Martin Michlmayr]

Package: gnupg2
Version: 2.1.11-5
Severity: important

I'm trying to support a device in debian-installer which only has 4MB
space in flash to hold the installer ramdisk.  This just broke due to:

gnupg2 (2.1.11-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * taking over gpgv-udeb from gnupg 1.4 packaging

The new gpgv-udeb pulls in libgcrypt20-udeb and libgpg-error0-udeb.
The former in particular is huge.

I assume libgcrypt20 is not optional for gnugpg v2.

I'm wondering... is there any way to continue providing gpgv-udeb from
gnupg 1.4 on armel for stretch?  I don't mind dropping support for
this device after stretch but it would be nice to support it in
stretch.  Unfortunately, I cannot think of anything else to drop from
the ramdisk.  Let me know what you think.  If providing support from
gnupg 1.4 for stretch on armel is too much of a hassle, I guess I'll
have to drop support now.
