And yet, upstream does not ship such a file.  gpgconf(1) itself doesn't
expect it to always exist:

       /etc/gnupg/gpgconf.conf
                If this file exists, it is processed as a global configuration file.
                A commented example can be found in the ‘examples’ directory of
                the distribution.


The gpgconf.conf file

that was closed with this remark:

      * debian/gnupg2.examples: New file, install gpgconf.conf as an example
        into /usr/share/doc. Hope this is a good compromise Bernhard. (Closes:
        #434878)

This is still the case:

0 dkg at alice:~$ dpkg -S gpgconf.conf
gnupg: /usr/share/doc/gnupg/examples/gpgconf.conf
0 dkg at alice:~$ 

So i'm going to try to close and merge these two bug reports.
