** Description changed:

  Example 1
  ----
  I did a sudo apt dist-upgrade today on my developer machine running Ubuntu 
Desktop 24.04 LTS and it surprisingly pulled in postfix.
  
  I did not built this into a full reproducible test case because I found
  another test case…
  
  Example 2
  ----
  munin's autopkgtests are now failing because postfix and gpg-wks-server is 
now unexpectedly being installed.
  
  https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/munin/noble/amd64
  
  Other Info
  ----
  gnupg2's changelog indicates that there was an attempt to avoid this 
misbehavior by having gnupg only Suggest gpg-wks-server. In fact, there is 
**nothing** in Ubuntu that Depends or Recommends gpg-wks-server.
  
- Notably, gnupg has
- Suggests: gpg-wks-server (<< 2.4.4-2ubuntu7.1~), gpg-wks-server (>= 
2.4.4-2ubuntu7)
- 
- I don't recall ever seeing strict versioned Suggests before so it's my
- wild guess that apt does not strict handle versioned Suggests in the
- expected way.
- 
- As a workaround, try dropping the versions from gnupg's Suggests.
- 
- But the true fix may be in apt.
- 
  I added a munin bug task as a pointer in case anyone wonder's about the
  autopkgtest regression but I don't believe munin needs any changes.
