Please backport gnupg 1.4.10

[Aaron Cannon]

gnupg 1.4.10 has been released, and it is in the lusid repo, but it hasn't been backported. If someone wouldn't mind doing this, that would be great.

[Aaron Cannon (cannona)]

The current version is 1.4.9. None of the commandline options have changed, so this should not break anything. The default type for key generation has changed, but all applications automating this should use the commandline options to specify key size and type, sow this should not be a problem.

What's New
===========

    * 2048 bit RSA keys are now generated by default. The default
      hash algorithm preferences has changed to prefer SHA-256 over
      SHA-1. 2048 bit DSA keys are now generated to use a 256 bit
      hash algorithm

    * Support v2 OpenPGP cards.

    * The algorithm to compute the SIG_ID status has been changed to
      match the one from 2.0.10.

    * Improved file locking. Implemented it for W32.

    * Fixed a memory leak which made imports of many keys very slow.

    * Many smaller bug fixes.

    * Support for the Camellia cipher (RFC-5581).

    * Support for HKP keyservers over SSL ("HKPS").

Note that gnupg 1.2.10 for Karmic is available in this PPA:

I am using it happily on my Karmic system.

I meant to say "gnupg 1.4.10" is available in that PPA.
