I wonder if the release team would accept a backport of these features
to popcon in stable/oldstable. GPG and time truncation are security
enhancements and reporting the dpkg Vendor field is very useful and
has no risks. Once GPG is tested, would you consider doing a
stable/oldstable update before the next point release?
