Thanks - this is the kind of feedback that I was hoping for. I am not *that* familiar with GnuPG so I probably erred on the side of caution for which things should get pulled in by default. Pulling in *all* new subpackages on upgrade to avoid breaking existing setups sounds like a good idea. Do you have any opinion on which new optional subpackages should or should not get pulled in by default on new installs? For example, dropping "gnupg2 Recommends: gnupg2-utils" should be safe. I am unsure about keeping "gnupg2 Recommends: gnupg2-scdaemon" though. I don't think that is needed by default, but only for SmartCard support?
