* Numerous updates to bring it back into sync with the official doc.
* Especially important since it now looks like the babel thing is a
  real bug after all and not me doing something stupid.

<title>The gnupg package created and maintained by Isis Lovecruft</title>
<body>
<p>In 2015 Isis Lovecruft from the Tor Project forked and then re-implemented the
python-gnupg package as just gnupg. This new package also relied on
<codeph>subprocess</codeph> to call the <cmdname>gpg</cmdname> or <cmdname>gpg2</cmdname>
binaries, but did so somewhat more securely.</p>
<p>The naming and version numbering selected for this package, however, resulted in conflicts
with the original python-gnupg and since its functions were called in a different manner to
python-gnupg, the release of this package also resulted in a great deal of consternation
when people installed what they thought was an upgrade that subsequently broke the code
relying on it.</p>
<p>The gnupg package is available under the GNU General Public License version 3.0 (or any
later version).</p>
