[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#826270: gnupg: Defaults to using insecure short key IDs (32 bits)

Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.20-6
Severity: normal

GnuPG defaults to returning short key IDs when listing keys. Short key
IDs are quite vulnerable to collisions, and their use should be
strongly discouraged.

I wrote the following with a progression of attacks; this is all
well-known for years.

So, in short: Please add "keyid-format 0xlong" to
/usr/share/gnupg/options.skel

Thanks,
