Please note the function gnupg uses email for is very rarely used, -
it's been many years when gpg-wks-server has been built without even
specifying path to sendmail binary, it's been fixed only in #1025782
in 2024.

Okay, it looks like I was wrong.  gpg-wks-server is the one which actually
uses email (for confirmation)...

Even better if gpg-wks-server itself becomes "more optional", - right
now it is installed on all my (at least desktop) systems.  But this
is a different matter it seems (looks more like bugs in other packages
who blindly depend on whole gnupg instead of certain components they
actually use).

but it is the other packages which wrongly require whole gnupg, including
gpg-wks-server, while actually using only main part of it.  I just filed
#1070882 against devscripts - which seems to be the main reason all my
desktop systems has gpg-wks-server which is not used by anything.  Also
#1070880 against dput-ng.

Thanks,
