Thank you for opening the bug in Debian BTS.

Another compatibility issue with ECC was reported to gnupg-users,
and this is my post (the context is Ubuntu with GnuPG 2.0.22):

    https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2015-May/053685.html

The situation is a bit complicated.  It depends on libgcrypt.  In
GnuPG 2.0.23, it introduced compatibility work around to disables ECC
(even when libgcrypt supports ECC).

I think that squeeze-lts doesn't have this problem since libgcrypt in
sqeeze-lts doesn't have ECC feature.   wheezy-backports doesn't have
this problem because its GnuPG is 2.0.25.

wheezy has this particular issue because it's libgcrypt is new and
GnuPG is old.
