I'm not sure what you're responing to, Werner.  I *did* need to do all
the steps above, including setting the default symmetric cipher to
AES256:

   https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-gnupg/gnupg2.git/tree/debian/patches/update-defaults/0018-gpg-default-to-AES-256.patch

The one that i said was already taken care of was:

>>  * default keyserver: nothing → hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net

Feel free to review the other changes in that update-defaults directory
if you want to give feedback.  I'm also happy to push them as a separate
branch to git.gnupg.org if that would make them easier to review.  Or if
you think they're fine, i can just push them to master or
STABLE-BRANCH-2-2.  let me know what you think.

Regards,
