[Pkg-emacsen-addons] Bug#848868: flycheck: Possible unnecessary build-dependency on gnupg1

Package: flycheck
Severity: minor

Hello,

I noticed that the flycheck source package Build-Depends on gnupg1. Is
there a reason for that? The package seems to build fine without it.

The reason I'm bringing this up is that depending on gnupg1 makes it
harder to backport flycheck to earlier Debian releases or derivates (since
they only have 'gnupg' not 'gnupg1').

If gnupg1 is required, please consider replacing the Build-Depends entry
with something like:

gnugp1 | gnupg << 2

in order to be more backport-friendly.

Thanks
