Hi,
Pulling gnupg just to extract the cleartext of a PGP signed message
seems a bit too much for me. I stumbled upon this while in
debian-installer, which didn't depend on gnupg, only pgpv, until now.
This looks really overkill. Please find attached a better fix, to me,
only using sed (and compatible with the minimal busybox sed found in
d-i). It should extract anything according to RFC 4880 cleartext signed
message format, according to my reading of it.
I don't reopen this bug as I don't know what is the policy about it
currently, but really consider my solution, please.
Regards,

Subject: [PATCH] Remove dependency on gnupg, extract Release with sed
Get back gnupg to Recommends, as it is only used to extract the clear
text. We can rather do that with sed, furthermore in constrained
environments like in d-i. Should be compatible with RFC 4880 format.
