[pkg-gnupg-maint] Debian gnupg2 (2.1.11-7+exp1) experimental

[Dr. Markus Waldeck]

Hi Daniel,

I noticed that the upgrading of gnupg in experimental will install gnupg2.
Even by using "apt-get --no-install-recommends" which is my default
apt-get asks me to install a bunch of new packages: 
"gnupg-agent libassuan0 libksba8 libnpth0 pinentry-curses".

I use gnupg ONLY in the context of apt and I would assume that this is also true 
for the overwhelming amount of Debian users.
For my understanding the gnupg-agent is a convenience feature.
So I wonder why it is "Depends" and not "Recommends".

Thanks in advance!

Markus
