[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#963692: /usr/share/info/gnupg.info.gz: Documentation regarding default RSA key size is out of date

[Sam Morris]

Package: gnupg
Version: 2.2.20-1
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/info/gnupg.info.gz

The documentation for ---default-new-key-algo says that the default is
rsa2048/cert,sign+rsa2048/encr but
gpg-default-to-3072-bit-RSA-keys.patch changes this to 
rsa3072/cert,sign+rsa3072/encr.

I suggest updating the wording so:

  This option can be used to change the default algorithms for key
  generation.  The STRING is similar to the arguments required for
  the command '--quick-add-key' but slightly different.  For example
  the current default of '"rsa3072/cert,sign+rsa3072/encr"' can be changed
  to the value of what we currently call future default, which is
  '"ed25519/cert,sign+cv25519/encr"'.  You need to consult the source code
  to learn the details.  Note that the advanced key generation commands
  can always be used to specify a key algorithm directly.
  
  The default of rsa3072 is specific to Debian. Upstream GPG still
  defaults to rsa2048.
