gpa status

Hello,

gpa is due to be removed from Debian/testing since it uses gtk2. gpa git
has gtk3 conversion, so we could switch to GIT head. However I am not
happy with shipping unreleased code in a Debian stable release.  My
impression from browsing dev.gnupg.org [1] [2] is that gpa is currently
not alive and should not be used. I would therefore block gpa from being
released with Debian trixie and in the longer term would drop the
package from Debian/unstable too. Any comments on that?

TIA, cu Andreas
