the security team is overworked enough as it is, i would rather get
security updates sooner that break contrib/non-free then no updates at

it belongs in non-US/main since that is where gnupg lives. but since
its not there its not part of debian. also for it to go into
non-US/main it must remove its dependency on non-free pgp, and
exclusivly depend on gnupg.
