[Pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#709104: Should not Depends or Recommends gnupg-agent

[Johann Hartwig Hauschild]

Package: gnupg2
Followup-For: Bug #709104

Dear Maintainer,

I just ran into the situation that I had to install gnupg2 on a couple of
servers and was forced to install font-config, x11-libs and even some
true-type-fonts.

>From Debian I am used to not having to install stuff like this if I tell apt
not to install recommends.

If you really really really want to keep gnupg-agent as a Depends please
change the pinentry-Depends of gnupg-agent to pinentry-curses and add a
Recommends to pinentry-gtk2 or whatever.

I do not think that installing pinentry-curses before installing gnupg2 to
keep gnupg2 from pulling those libs is really a good idea, this sounds
like something I would want my package-manager to take care of.

Regards,

	Johann Hartwig Hauschild
