2.6 is available and functional in unstable.  I think we should prefer 2.6.

This will enable (and encourage) us to approach S/MIME support too
(which isn't offered in 2.4), as well as helping flush out any concerns
with 2.6.  Leaving 2.4-dev as an optional b-d will make backporting
simpler, but i think we should try to use (and support) upstream's
stable gmime branch.
