can you explain what you mean by "its test suite blindly assuming
binary/version mapping" ?  The bug #835770 was originally assigned to
mod-gnutls, and it was a failure in the msva-backed OpenPGP
authentication step.  what were the blind assumptions?  I'd like to fix
them if they're problems.  If the assumptions were just "i expect that
gpg is gpg" then i'm not so sure that's a problem, though ;)
