iirc, upstream has completely dropped the skeleton files completely from
their source, and the documentation is consolidated in the gpg(1) man
page itself.  I'm not convinced that adding our own example skeleton
file to usr/share/doc/gpg/examples is worth deviating from upstream.

can you give me an example of what you'd like to see in such a skeleton
file?  My ideal config file is the empty file :)
