This issue is considered solved in PureOS.
It is true that the solution used for PureOS is not ideal, but it is effective: Users cannot accidentally or sloppily make use of the EME implementation included with Firefox ESR as shipped with PureOS, because it requires manually editing plaintext files to enable that functionality.

Makes sense to keep it open, I guess - but I don't expect much will happen here except keeping an eye on progress of this issue in Debian.

After digging through the Debian bug logs, they have a bug already filed under a similar title whose fix would cover this as well.

jeremiah.foster added a comment to T1056: poldi: does not suppor ECC-based GPG keys.

In general I feel it's better that we receive into PureOS Debian packages as maintained by our upstream, namely Debian. It gives me pause that in this case, the maintainer of libpam-poldi and the person doing a lot of commits in the GitHub mirror are the same person: https://github.com/gpg/poldi/commits/master I don't know what it means that the package hasn't been updated in Debian - does the maintainer not have enough time? Is the patch still undergoing testing?

brianj added a comment to T1056: poldi: does not suppor ECC-based GPG keys.

Understood that you're at the same commit level as Debian. I don't understand why they haven't applied that commit either. My thought was that I'd have better luck filing the request in PureOS's tracker rather than Debian's, because this materially affects the use of the Librem Key.
