Not necessarily. I would be in favor of letting #614963/#694635
assigned to gnupg (with the blocking/affecting relation) for better
visibility. Also note that when a bug in some library affects some
executable like here, there is sometimes the possibility to change
the code in the executable in order to avoid the bug, so that this
can also be seen as a bug in the executable (i.e. using a library
feature that is known to be broken). I don't know what the developers
are planning to do here... It seems that the glibc bug affects only
gnupg, so that it may not be fixed before a long time.
