Nope.  If --use-tor (or well, "use-tor" in dirmngr,conf) is used there
should be no leaks at all.  If GnuPG is not build aganst a Tor aware
resolver (i.e. the patched ADNS) all attempts to access the DNS will
fail.  grep for opt.use_tor in dirmgr/ to see where we check for this.

Any suggestion how to improve the wording?
