One more followup about gnupg and udebs--

The gnupg packaging currently makes a gnupg-udeb in addition to a
gpgv-udeb.  This post is about gnupg-udeb, and not gpgv-udeb.

I'm proposing to drop the gnupg-udeb entirely.

It looks like it was used at one point in the past for partman-crypto,
but it is no longer used there.

I searched here:

  http://codesearch.debian.net/results/gnupg-udeb/

and the only places it shows up are the changelong for partman-crypto,
and a test case for python-debian.  the package isn't actually used any
more.

So i plan to drop the gnupg-udeb in a future release of the gnupg
package, unless i hear a report that it's something people need.

Anyone want to speak up in favor of keeping it?
