Dear Maintainer,

I upgraded a minimal Debian Bullseye VM to Devuan Chimaera and it pulled
in gnupg and friends, which some years later pulled in an MTA on
upgrading to Excalibur and suddenly didn't look so minimal.

Obviously I should have installed the keyring with
--no-install-recommends, but it would be nice if there were a
devuan-archive-keyring package along the lines of debian-archive-keyring
that did not have this recommends.

Any reason this isn't already the case? I see that the package only
includes archive keyrings anyway.

Thanks!
