Package: hopenpgp-tools
Version: 0.23.5-1
similar to #978991, ECDH subkeys now say:
algo/size: ECDH 256
where ECDH is in yellow (presumably a warning).
ECDH isn't limited to curve25519 -- it could also use the NIST curves or
the Brainpool curves. so i think you'll want to keep a size check if
possible, but just know that there's no reason to warn for ECDH key
sizes >= 256 (so, cv25519, NIST p256, etc).
(same thing might be happening with NIST curves, i haven't checked).
thanks for maintaining hopenpgp-tools!
