[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#826273: gnupg2: Defaults to using insecure short key IDs (32 bits)

Package: gnupg2
Version: 2.1.11-7
Severity: normal
Tags: security

GnuPG2 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/gnupg2/gpg-conf.skel
