GnuPG does have a large number of dependent packages, but I'd argue
that's either 1) a bug or 2) something we should ignore and update
freely. It's a critical package, and did not used to have such a large
number of dependents. It's really a problem for the distro if we don't
allow ourselves to update packages like this freely.
