I believe you, but that's disappointing, because it suggests that
debian's CI tests are still lacking -- the only things that are showing
up as a potential blocker on https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gpgme1.0
(via automated testing) are the rust bindings :(

Hm, so in terms of upstream git, gpgme has two updates for src/gpgme.m4,
and libgpg-error has one update to src/gpg-error.m4 that i can see.

Do you think we should pull those changes into both source packages in
debian?  or should we wait for (or explicitly encourage) an upstream
release?

I appreciate your looking into this, Andreas!
