Public bug reported:
[Impact]
GnuPG 2.4 defaults to generating keys that are incompatible with other OpenPGP
implementations, following a schism in the OpenPGP community leading to GnuPG
upstream to declare its own LibrePGP "standard".
We should revert these changes such that keys generated on 24.04 are
interoperable again.
[Test Plan]
TBD
[Where problems could occur]
Particularly concerning would be an inability to verify signatures from keys
previously generated on 24.04; our test plan should ensure that a v5 key's
signatures can still be verified after we switch back to v4 keys by default.
There are some unknowns in how users might have come to rely on some
v5-only features that are once again hidden behind an option, like the
ed448 keys.
