Hello! [Please let me on CC, I'm offlist.]
We still have no working GPG support for KMail in sarge, because there is no
gpg-agent in main (Bug 280175 is still open for 4 months).
We sould fix this, before sarge will be released, a forward is not the
solution here.
A known solution is to get the newpg package from inofficial source, but this
shouldn't be the final solution for sarge, should it? This security related
program should come from the archive and be under the eyes of the security
team, I think.
First way to get gnupg package >=1.9 ready for sarge seems not possible for
the short term, but we can include a package which provide gpg-agent and
gpgsm for sarge.
After gnupg is ready we could remove it.
Unfortunately the ITP #187548 for newpg was closed last summer.
KMail is widely used, so a release without GPG support will be suboptimal.
Kindly regards,
Erik
