In fact, I've just realised that this regression comes from reverting
a functionality equivalent (part of a) patch in the latest upload.
This looks like it might have been unintentional?

https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/libgnupg-interface-perl/-/commit/a96ae3047570483e96da309008d4110f16824ed5#f37d120361709f5984c8a7d93302241dc341b4b3_1_1

Andrew, was this intentional? Maybe we should just restore that part
