Comment 13 for bug 1829693

I'm also really confused as to why gpg itself isn't at least a recommend or a suggest or something. Seems pretty darn essential.

And from what I can tell calling gpg on all supported releases at time of writing sans Xenial had the effect of invoking gpg version 2. Cosmic uniquely had a /usr/bin/gpg2 → gpg symlink from the gnupg2 package while gpg came from the gpg package. Xenial had both gpg and gpg2. It's all a ridiculous mess.
