I'd like to say "use your best judgement", but you seem to be a little
too fixated on having a minimal package description (and putting
minimal effort into it).  For instance, when the package advertises
encryption, while it is technically optional, shipping it without gpg
would be a grave oversight!  (On the other hand, you need not
necessarily have openssl, since encryption requires any of gpg or
openssl, not both.)  Same for templates, at least awk is required and
either j2cli or envtpl would be nice to have.

Regards,
Leo
