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.
