Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cryptplug

Please remove cyrptplug 0.3.16-1 (source) and cryptplug/cryptplug-dev
(binaries) from Gutsy (Universe).

They have no reverse depends (cryptplug-dev depends on cryptplug, but
that's it)

The reason for removal is that this is an obsolete and
unused/unmaintained crypto library.  It uses the buggy and unmaintained
development version of gpgme and has never been updated in several
years.  I'm after removing gpgme (not gpgme1.0) as I believe that having
a buggy/unmaintained encryption library in the repository is actively
dangerous.
