[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#872368: gpgme: please adjust libgpgme11 dependency on gnupg package

[RjY]

Package: src:gpgme1.0
Version: 1.8.0-3

It seems in recent unstable the gnupg package has turned into a
metapackage pulling in the whole gpg suite. Thus the dependency chain

  mutt -> libgpgme11 -> gnupg -> [lots of stuff]

is pulling in a lot of stuff I don't need. I use mutt and don't want to
uninstall it, so could the dependency be reduced? It seems splitting up
the gnupg package into smaller pieces is pointless if commonly used
applications force the whole lot to be pulled in.

Many thanks in advance for your consideration.
