You're absolutely right, sorry about this. I'm not convinced that any of the gpgme packages need to be priority: standard, in fact. Looking at the revision control history, this was bumped from "optional" to "standard" back in 2013 in response to a request from the mutt maintainer: https://bugs.debian.org/623353 however, mutt is today priority: optional itself, so i'm going to bump all of gpgme back down to "optional" (and its -dev packages down to "extra") in the next release. Thank you for catching this and reporting it, Ryan. Regards, --dkg
