Please don't mischaracterise my position like this. I find it upsetting,
disrespectful and unconstructive. For an example of how this your
characterisation of my position is inaccurate, see my post at
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2018-March/004368.html

I hope that you participate in the mailing list discussion but do it in
a more constructive tone.

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.
