    The gpgv tool is no longer used by apt as of the 2.9.19 upload.
    It is the only thing left pulling in libgcrypt and whole bunch
    of GnuPG packages into a standard debootstrap.

    I suggest demoting it to optional. I do not believe use of gpgv
    by users is super wide-spread that it warrants standard priority.

    Generally it is helpful in bootstrapping situations to verify, e.g.,
    checksums for ISOs, and the like.

    What do the gpg maintainers think?
