17 +1 on forcing it always on. gpgme already requires all packages linked
18 against it to use same largefile switch value as it does,
19 and maintaining the ability to switch it on/off just creates more
20 trouble than profit.
21
22 The only use case I see for the explicit switch possibility
23 are the dependencies of -bin packages.
