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

[Free Ekanayaka]

And for extra context, let me add that from this point on, any additional
package change that you'll push to the Alioth git repository will be
automatically pulled by Launchpad, and the backport will be rebuilt (with
an automatically generated changelog entry on top of the latest one). If
anything will break in the future, let's re-consider the possibility of a
branch (although for that I think you'll need to add me to the pkg-emacsen
team on Alioth, so I can push to the flycheck repository). For now that
branch would have zero changes, so it doesn't make sense just yet.
