Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.2-2
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

  I would like to see /usr/bin/gpgv shipped in a separate package from
  gnupg, e.g. gpgv. Rationale would be to have a small package on which
  it'd be ok for apt to depend on, so that signature verification can be
  always on. Some other developers have agreed this would be particularly
  useful for chroots (smaller size, plus libraries like libusb-0.1-4,
  libldap2, and dependencies, don't have to be pulled).

  Another option would be to keep /usr/bin/gpgv in the gnupg package,
  and ship gpgv-udeb's binary as /usr/bin/gpgv-tiny in another package.
  But this sounds like increased trouble (e.g., having to change apt's
  configuration) for little benefit (loosing dependencies on libbz2 and
  libreadline), so well, whatever you consider best.

  Thanks in advance,
