[Python-apps-team] Bug#846314: alot: please use python-gpg instead of python-gpgme

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: alot
Version: 0.3.6-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream
Control: affects -1 python-gpg python-gpgme

Please use the python-gpg package, which is supplied by GnuPG and
GPGME upstream, rather than the python-gpgme package, which is not
being actively maintained.

This will require some minor changes in the source, which i've already
made patches for upstream:

    https://github.com/pazz/alot/pull/906

they don't apply cleanly to 0.3.6, though; they should be easier to
apply if debian updates to a more recent version of alot.
