Any news on this?  At work we have recently deployed OpenPGP (via
YubiKey 4) for all the sysadmins, installing GnuPG 2 on jessie with the
following trick:
=====
# cat >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/snapshot.debian.org.list <<EOF
## GnuPG_2.1
deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20160424T221003Z/ stretch main
EOF
# etckeeper commit 'apt/sources.list.d/snapshot.debian.org.list: new file (GnuPG_2.1)'
# apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update
[apt-cache show dirmngr -> Depends: libgnutls30 -> too many debpkg to update]
# apt-get install \
    libassuan0=2.4.2-3 libgcrypt20=1.7.0-2 \
    gnupg2=2.1.11-7 gnupg-agent=2.1.11-7 scdaemon=2.1.11-7 \
    paperkey
# apt-mark auto libassuan0 libgcrypt20
# apt-get autoremove --purge
# sed -i -e 's/^\(deb.*20160424T221003Z.*\)/#\1/' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/snapshot.debian.org.list
# etckeeper commit 'apt/sources.list.d/snapshot.debian.org.list: comment GnuPG_2.1'
# apt-get update
# if ! apt-cache policy gnupg2 | grep -q stretch; then
    echo "OK"
else
    echo "E: stretch sources always present."
    exit 1
fi
# 
=====

From a quick look, the following are the Build-Depends: needing a
backport as well:

  libassuan-dev
  libgcrypt20-dev
  libgpg-error-dev
  libksba-dev
  libnpth0-dev

I have started working on libassuan-dev and go on if no one else is
doing that already, the idea being a *full* bakcport, i.e. completely
replacing GnuPG 1.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
