mmmm. Imho before or later we will need gpg.
Just think when in future we will discuss about automatic update or
digital signature verification of something. gpg will be a requirement.

I would suggest to evaluate the 'size' and the dependencies of gpg. If
it's small in size and doesn't require any other package i would highly
prefer the option 2.

Imho kolab should as much as possible "ready and fully featured
immediately upon installation", obviously without increasing too much in
terms of complexity and size.
