in all releases from stretch to bookworm:
  Package: apt
  Depends: ..., gpgv | gpgv2 | gpgv1, ...

This has to become only[1] "gpgv" in at least bullseye and bookworm,
otherwise there would be users running into problems - even in
unstable "apt-get remove gpgv" works and installs "gpgv1" instead.

[1] The "gpgv2" alternative is harmless but pointless since it
    became a transitional package depending on "gpgv".
