gpg-wks-server is not a new dependency so upgrading will of course pull
in a newer version until you remove it. The images will be fixed
eventually when they get rebuilt from scratch.
For upgrades, we can quirk this to avoid upgrading it only for it to
become auto removable later.

Bug description:
Example 1
----
I did a sudo apt dist-upgrade today on my developer machine running Ubuntu
Desktop 24.04 LTS and it surprisingly pulled in postfix.
I did not built this into a full reproducible test case because I
found another test case…
Example 2
----
munin's autopkgtests are now failing because postfix and gpg-wks-server is
now unexpectedly being installed.
https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/munin/noble/amd64
Other Info
----
gnupg2's changelog indicates that there was an attempt to avoid this
misbehavior by having gnupg only Suggest gpg-wks-server. In fact, there is
**nothing** in Ubuntu that Depends or Recommends gpg-wks-server.
Notably, gnupg has
Suggests: gpg-wks-server (<< 2.4.4-2ubuntu7.1~), gpg-wks-server (>=
2.4.4-2ubuntu7)
I don't recall ever seeing strict versioned Suggests before so it's my
wild guess that apt does not strict handle versioned Suggests in the
expected way.
As a workaround, try dropping the versions from gnupg's Suggests.
But the true fix may be in apt.
I added a munin bug task as a pointer in case anyone wonder's about
the autopkgtest regression but I don't believe munin needs any
changes.
