The last time Easy GnuPG has been discussed on the GnuPG mailing list: thread starting around this message https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2016-April/055835.html and later https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2016-May/056007.html Easy GnuPG was not deemed ready for end users, and technical issues with the code were identified. I think including it in Debian is akin to recommend it and somehow a statement on its technical cryptographic validity. It seemed that people on the GnuPG mailing list were not too enthusiastic about reviewing it. Has something changed since then? Is there an (informal) evaluation of the code or of the project in general from a third party? Cheers, Daniele
