So I decided to do that, and NMU enigmail.
I used Gregors patches from [1] (thanks for that!) with some minor changes
- Updated to 2.2.4 (instead of 2.2.2)
- Marked the upload as NMU (versioned as 2:2.2.4-0.1) and removed Gregor
from Uploaders again. It seemed a bit controversial to add oneself to
Uploaders as part of an NMU
- Removed Files-Excluded from debian/copyright as the offending files
are no longer part of the dist tarball, so a repack is not necessary anymore

I gave the package some light testing and the migration wizard did
properly show up and import my private and public keys (it skipped one
public key, haven't investigated yet, why) and the account settings.

I've pushed my work to https://salsa.debian.org/biebl/enigmail and
uploaded to DELAYED/14.

Daniel, please holler if you want me to cancel the NMU.

Hopefully this helps, to unbreak the current situation a bit.

Regards,
Michael
