Package: gnupg1 Version: 1.4.22-1 Severity: wishlist I believe Ubuntu's gnupg1 packaging has only one change from Debian: uncomment 'use-agent' in g10/options.skel. I believe using the agent is the default in gnupg2 anyway. Please consider applying the change.
For context, I am pasting Ubuntu's patch below.
