According to the experiences in Ubuntu it breaks other stuff:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgcrypt11/+bug/1013798
(+ 2 merged bugreports)

I do not know whether this is a fair exchange, or whether it could
be fixed simply. However applying the patch clearly comes at a cost.

I am sorry I cannot be more helpful, but I am just not a programmer.
