Bug Description

This is a little small, but should be fixed nonetheless.

Signing a new account to Launchpad, GPG related things point to the Passwords and Keys (seahorse) utility, in Ubuntu. But when signing the Ubuntu Code of Conduct, the step 2 of the sign page (before the paste here textarea), it says to use the following command line:

    gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-2.0.txt

But in Ubuntu 16.04, although the gpg utility exists, actually gpg2 is the correct utility that "talks" with Passwords and Keys (seahorse) utility.

    gpg2 --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-2.0.txt

I wonder if there's any sensible way to fix this without introducing an unfortunate "try the first of these commands that works" kind of branch into the documentation?
