Bad packaging of gpgme 0.4.7?

Hi,

I wanted to install gpgme 0.4.7, but it seems packages available on 
your ftp site are not correct:

curl -O ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gpgme/gpgme-0.4.7.tar.gz.sig

returns a package of size 804kB, whereas gpgme-0.4.7.tar.gz weights 
803kB. Quite a big signature!

Anyway, verifying signature is OK:

gpg --verify gpgme-0.4.7.tar.gz.sig                                gpg: 
Signature made Fri Apr 30 01:27:12 2004 CEST using DSA key ID 87978569
gpg: Good signature from "Marcus Brinkmann <mb at g10code.com>"
gpg:                 aka "Marcus Brinkmann <brinkmd at debian.org>"
gpg:                 aka "Marcus Brinkmann"
gpg:                 aka "Marcus Brinkmann 
<Marcus.Brinkmann at ruhr-uni-bochum.de>"
gpg:                 aka "Marcus Brinkmann <mb at g10code.de>"

Then, unarchiving gpgme-0.4.7.tar.gz logs some errors:

gnutar xzf gpgme-0.4.7.tar.gz
gnutar: ./PaxHeaders.13490/gpgme-0.4.7: Unknown file type 'x', 
extracted as normal file
gnutar: gpgme-0.4.7/PaxHeaders.13490/gpgme: Unknown file type 'x', 
extracted as normal file
...

Can you check and fix that?

Thanks,

Stéphane
