Priority: normal → elevated

Similar to libgcrypt, this one appears to have security fixes in it as well. Not sure on any CVEs though.

Important Security Fixes:

    fix handling of symbolic link ACLs on Linux (#1565)
    never follow symlinks when setting file flags on Linux (e2ad1a2)
    do not follow symlinks when processing the fixup list (#1566)

I've omitted the rest of the notes.

Take it, because it's necessary for tagging UEFI related stuff.
