I fully agree with you. I did not mean to suggest defaulting to this option. I merely mentioned no-autostart since it might be useful for developers testing the gnupg2 package with session-managed daemons. In this case one wishes to know with certainty whether the daemons were started by the session manager as intended, or auto-spawned by accident. Adding to Stefano, thank you very much for completing this transition. Regards, Peter
