[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#987440: release-notes: Mention GnuPG no longer reads ~/.gnupg/options

[Christoph Biedl]

Package: release-notes
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: pkg-gnupg-maint at lists.alioth.debian.org

Hello release team,

for the Debian 11 (bullseye) release notes, please consider mentioning
a change in the configuration file handling in GnuPG, related bug is
<https://bugs.debian.org/985158>. Suggested text, as in NEWS.Debian
of 2.2.27-2 uploaded a few moments ago:

  Starting with version 2.2.27-1, per-user configuration of the GnuPG
  suite has completely moved to ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf, and ~/.gnupg/options
  is no longer in use.  Please rename the file if necessary, or move
  its contents to the new location.

By the way, there is *no* code change between 2.2.27-1 (in testing) and
2.2.27-2, only the above notice and an addition to Uploaders: list. So
if you want to unblock right away, I'll certainly not object. Else I
might file an according request soon.

Kind regards,

    Christoph
