The list of 300+ rebuilds suggested by ratt does not make sense. The
protonmail package is not a build dependency of some of the packages
in the list you pasted (from ratt) I tested:

$ grep -c protonmail {ntfy,tiup,usql}/go.*
ntfy/go.mod:0
ntfy/go.sum:0
tiup/go.mod:0
tiup/go.sum:0
usql/go.mod:0
usql/go.sum:0

For an update of protonmail-go-crypto it should be enough to rebuild
things that actually include it. I don't see how rebuilding
dependencies of second or third order matters. Maybe I am missing
something?
