    gnupg Breaks: libgnupg-perl (<< 0.19-1) (addresses: #834522)
    
    libgnupg-perl FTBFS and fails to run due to its rigid internal model of
    gnupg's expected behavior.  GnuPG 2.1.x uses a slightly different
    internal finite state machine than the 1.4.x branch, and as a result,
    the scripted/expected interactions in most scenarios that libgnupg-perl
    tries to handle don't line up, and libgnupg-perl falls over.
    
    This can be seen in #834522, and is probably an upstream problem.
    
    The next version of libgnupg-perl that goes into debian after 0.19-1
    should ideally have a more flexible internal state machine and work
    with the 2.1.x branch of GnuPG.
    
    Alternately, the next version in debian could explicitly declare its
    dependencies on an older version of gnupg (<< 2.1).  Or, as a
    temporary workaround, it could be explicitly patched to use
    /usr/bin/gpg1 and then could Depend: gnupg1.
