+libpod (3.0.1+dfsg1-3+deb11u4+apertis2) apertis; urgency=medium
+
+  * Build using the containers openpgp backend. golang-github-containers-image 
+    has two implementations of gpg/pgp. One using libgpgme and one using golangs
+    crypto openpgp implementation.
+    .
+    gpgme is not in target (and has some GPL-3 related licensing concerns)
+    so not really useful for Apertis. Golangs openpgp implementation is
+    deprecated but still gets security fixes, which means it's not ideal but
+    a better option for Apertis
