I believe this would be good, I frequently run into GnuPG bugs in the
2.2.x branch that was fixed years ago in 2.4 and today I mostly these on
Debian because others moved on to 2.4.x.  Andreas, can you give a
current status of pending issues for experimental->unstable upload?

It seems there is push from the anti-GnuPG people to promote a fork
called FreePG instead of real GnuPG, will you package that?

If so I think there would be value in having the real GnuPG as a
separate Debian package, for those who want to use the real version.
