Hi,

[re-sending here what I sent to #780628 by mistake]


it looks like sid's 2.1.10-3 has the needed support:

  echo use-tor >> ~/.gnupg/dirmngr.conf

... made gpg2 use a torified dirmngr here. Woo! :)

dirmngr(8) isn't very clear if DNS leaks are supposed to happen,
though: the paragraph about --use-tor suggests they will, while the
one about --nameserver suggests they won't. I didn't check what
happened in practice, and then I won't dare closing this bug report.

Cheers!
