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? --dkg
