Version 1.4.7 splits-out gpgv to its own package. It can be used to
verify signatures, but can't encrypt or sign anything. I'm using it in
an initramfs for its small size, unrelated to dpkg though.

I didn't notice this, because I have PREFERRED_VERSION_gnupg set to
1.4.7, which however RDEPENDS on gpgv, so the obvious fix is:

RRECOMMENDS_dpkg-perl = "gnupg"

I don't remember where it came from, maybe I took it from Debian.

Thank you for your review! I'm going to update my branch now (obi/deb on
openembedded-core-contrib) with all your comments addressed, hopefully.
Do you want me to submit v2 to the mailing list, too?

Regards,
Andreas
