[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#884367: gnupg2: Please bring skel files back as documentation/examples

[Matthew Gabeler-Lee]

Package: gnupg2
Version: 2.1.18-8~deb9u1
Severity: wishlist

While the rationale listed in 0077-g10-remove-skeleton-options-files.patch
for not having gnupg write the default config files to the user home
directory is sound, removing the sample files from the distribution entirely
is not so good.  This seems to be what /usr/share/doc/_package_/examples/ is
for.  It would be nice/helpful to have these skel files available there for
reference, and that would avoid the "documentation that's always out of
date" problem, as now they would be properly placed as documentation, and be
kept up to date.
