With the change to the socket locations, I'm not convinced that gnupg
actually Breaks: dirmngr any more than dirmngr Breaks: gnupg.  And since
it's only a Recommends (not a stronger Depends) it's unclear what the
right thing to do is.

You'll note that 2.1.13-5 now has tighter versioned Recommends: between
both gnupg and dirmngr (which i plan to keep going forward), so
hopefully that's sufficient to point out that these things need to
grouped together.
