Interesting, yet another way to deal with this :)

GnuPG upstream already publishes and maintains a native python binding,
which is made using swig -- i suppose another approach would be to ask
upstream to extend that swig binding to perl.  (and ruby?)

I personally find swig ugly and difficult to work with, but that is what
upstream is currently supporting, so it might be preferable to use that
to keep it in sync -- i think gpgme-glib would already be out of date
compare to libgpgme in debian testing.
