I could be wrong (and if I am, please let me know), but depending on pgp
would seem to me to be different from depending on (gnupg|pgp|pgp5).
IMO, mailcrypt doesn't depend on pgp, since it can be installed without
pgp being installed.

What is the definition of "depends"?  Is it "A depends on B if B appears
in a depends line for A" (which would mean that mailcrypt depends on
pgp), or is in "A depends on B if B exactly matches a depends line for
A" (i.e. A -> B is different from A -> (B|C), which would mean that
mailcrypt does not depend on pgp).  ("depends line" isn't exactly the
best terminology, but it's the best thing that I could think of.)

Is this in the Debian policy?  I'm afraid I haven't read any of the
policy manuals.
