Sorry in advance if this is seen as a bit offtopic, but me and Holger
recently got the sequoia-chameleon-gnupg (
https://packages.debian.org/trixie/sequoia-chameleon-gnupg ) packaged
for Debian and it's designed to be able to be a drop in replacement
for most of gpg's common use cases.

Depending on the gpg-sq or gpgv-sq binary might be a possible solution
for getting good crypto policies in place. for RSA key lengths, but
also for SHA1 deprecation and future crypto development.

The sequoia solution is very configurable in this regard:
