This type of flavour exists in some ports but rarely gets tested properly on an ongoing basis, so we generally do not do this. Especially where it only reduces build dependencies rather than runtime ones (if you wish to avoid having a bunch of build dependencies installed, just use the packages already produced, they're the same as the packages produced/installed when you build/install from ports).

This could be changed to a note in pkg/DESCR rather than an actual dependency but in the case of gnupg, it doesn't pull in all that many other packages so I don't think there's much point.
