Sorry for the late reply, this skipped far in my backlog :/

I currently have no-autostart and disable-dirmngr since it became
available in gpg.conf to enforce this.

I'll always favor smaller packages, so I'm biased here. I'm using gpg in
batch mode most of the time, and in servers or VMs scdaemon is useless.

As I stated before, I really don't want automatic spawning of processes
or network access by default in scripts, thus I also don't need dirmngr
there.

But I already said that, so I guess I don't have much to add :/
