7 It's a stupid mess since from what I can tell, gnupg and gpgme has the
8 same upstream. They made gnupg-2 able to co-exist with gnupg-1, but
9 seemed to have forgotten all about gpgme. Unless the idea there is
10 anything using gpgme, should be gnupg-2, not gnupg-1.

12 Early reports of issues with gpgme fell on deaf ears upstream, and
13 doesn't seem things have improved at all there :(

25 Granted providing both still leaves the issue with gpgme. Damn the
26 upstream, damn them I say.
