Will there be an update for GPG for Bionic?

[blue-t at web.de]

Hello,

comparing the current version of GPG in Bionic with the one served by
Debian upstream i noticed a big difference.

Debian Stretch is at 2-1-18 and buster&sid at 2-2-4

Ubuntu Artful and Bionic are lagging behind at 2-1-15.

It would be useful for software depending on GPG if the bugfixes from
the recent gpg releases would be part of the next LTS release. Is this
planned already or are additional steps required to get debian and
ubuntu in sync again?

Regards,

Sam
