Thank you, Werner!  2.1.2 is now in debian experimental, where it builds
cleanly on all architectures:

 https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=gnupg2&suite=experimental

Users of debian sid or jessie should be able to upgrade to it from the
experimental archive.  For more information, see:

  https://wiki.debian.org/DebianExperimental

The transition to automake 1.14 was painless on the packaging side for
me.  This modernization is much appreciated.

I'm happy to hear this, and glad to see the project getting some of the
support it has long deserved.

All the best,
