[Bug 1825448] Re: gnupg2 autopkgtest 'simple-tests' should be included in x/b/c

[Robie Basak]

I was asking about how the points raised in the mailing list thread
specifically apply to this particular case.

It sounds like you object more in principle to the general points
raised. In that case I suggest you participate in the thread in
ubuntu-release@ instead, so we don't silo that discussion here. I will
be happy to respond to you there.

Bug description:
  [impact]

  b/c currently only have gpgv-win32 test, which is limited in what it
  tests and what archs it runs on.  additionally, it always fails (see
  bug 1825186).

  x currently has no tests at all for gnupg or gnupg2.

  [test case]

  run autopkgtests for gnupg2 on b/c.

  [regession potential]

  adding a testcase may result in the testcase incorrectly failing in
  the future.

  [other info]

  this test case is cherry-picked from gnupg2 in disco.

  the test case required slight modification for gnupg v1, as 'Key-Type:
  default' only works with v2.  Note that Xenial is the last release
  that carries gnupg v1; Bionic and later carry only gnupg v2.
