Indeed it is probably not worth a separate package, contra my bug title!

It might be worth reviewing if even the Recommends is warranted though -
slapping gnupg on everyone's system by default seems like a significant

Debian. I don't have a horse in that race but it might give the edge to
dropping the relationship.
