Hello Roberto,

given that gnupg lives in salsa's Debian namespace please push to the
respective branches. Afaict most of them already exist:

remotes/origin/debian/bullseye
remotes/origin/debian/buster
remotes/origin/debian/stretch

There is no jessie branch yet but
remotes/origin/debian/jessie-security 
exists

In the unlikely event that you choose to package a new upstream 2.2.x
version  you would need to set
upstream-branch = upstream-2.2
in debian/gbp.conf
to avoid messing up sid's upstream branch (based on 2.4.)
