Sorry about that. I planned on packaging gpg2 (with a separate binary
package for gpg-agent), but that idea got shelved because the
gcrypt/gnutls update was arguably more important.

Well, I think it's somewhat unfortunate, but nothing can be done about
it. I'll push for that in etch; at that time gnupg2 should be released too.

I'll update that dependency.

My mistake; NEWS already says 0.9.11.

There's also quintuple-agent, if that helps.
