Yes. I had a short look; the package has direct changes to the code and doesn't run the test suite. Trying to enable it leads to syntax errors (!) in t/*.t. Popcon votes: 16 is not that low, and there is a newer upstream release, but I think working on this package would bring more pain than benefit, and I also doubt it works with gpg2. So +1 for removal from me.
