[Pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#764292: gnupg2: brings too many dependencies into standard task

[Steven Chamberlain]

Package: gnupg2
Version: 2.0.26-2
Severity: serious
Tags: d-i

Hi,

Installing a sid system from d-i Beta 2 (kfreebsd-amd64, but probably
also Linux), tasksel task 'standard' brings in many unwanted
dependencies via:

mutt -> libgpgme11 -> gnupg2 -> gnupg-agent -> pinentry-gtk2 -> ...

I suggest maybe pinentry-curses should be the first-listed provider
of pinentry, but pinentry-gtk2 could be added to the desktop tasks?

Demonstrated in /target/ from d-i shell:

# apt-get -o Debug::pkgDepCache::AutoInstall=1 install mutt
