Filing an unblock for gnupg2 version 2.2.13-2 for buster is on my stack
of things to do, but i'm quite far behind on other work.  I do think it
would be useful to have, and i welcome any help in filing such an
unblock request.

This change includes several upstream cleanup changes beyond the
2.2.12-1 that is in buster right now, in particular (from upstream's
NEWS):

  * gpg: Implement key lookup via keygrip (using the & prefix).

  * gpg: Allow generating Ed25519 key from existing key.

  * gpg: Emit an ERROR status line if no key was found with -k.

  * gpg: Stop early when trying to create a primary Elgamal key.  [#4329]

  * gpgsm: Print the card's key algorithms along with their keygrips
    in interactive key generation.

  * agent: Clear bogus pinentry cache in the error case.  [#4348]

  * scd: Support "acknowledge button" feature.

  * scd: Fix for USB INTERRUPT transfer.  [#4308]

  * wks: Do no use compression for the the encrypted challenge and
    response.


Since the gnupg2 source produces a udeb for gpgv, there are likely to be
additional hurdles to clearing the queue. :/
