One fix is to force GNUPGHOME to point inside the build directory, another option is to upgrade it to a newer release that modified the tests to remove some directory dependencies [1]. The upgrade requires a merge from Debian, creates new packages and changes how gnupg2 interacts with systemd, thus not ideal so close to the release.
