looks reasonable to me. I'm assuming that in debian, we'd have the
gpgme1.0 package (maintained by pkg-gnupg-maint) take over the binary
packages from the gpgmepp souce package (maintained by the Debian Qt/KDE
maintainers). I've cc'ed both groups on this e-mail so that people are
aware of the situation.
