If that's the case, I hope someone who knows about this change will
propose a patch to debian-policy and post it to the BTS.  In the
meantime, i'll probably keep the gpgme source package compliant with the
version declared in debian/control's Standards-Version field.

I plan on NMUing this change to openvas unless i hear otherwise from the
openvas maintainers (cc'ed here).
