That has to do with the fact that unless gpg is setuid root, it can't
lock itself into memory and confidential data may end up on the swap
partition.
You can choose which risk you want: whether to make gpg suid root so
that it can do that or whether it's bad to have another suid-root
program.

My only weird stuff is:
set pgp_sign_micalg="pgp-sha1"
But that may be unneccesary.
