The current debian package in stable still has the patch to remove the files so they are there in that version. But I just checked the package in /testing and indeed upstream has removed those files there. I guess that renders most of my wishlist item here moot :/

I'm not convinced that adding our own example skeleton
file to usr/share/doc/gpg/examples is worth deviating from upstream.

Agreed, given upstream has removed the examples, having Debian ship its doesn't make sense.

can you give me an example of what you'd like to see in such a skeleton
file?  My ideal config file is the empty file :)

My case was looking for essentially documentation on the recommendations for some parameters that I think default to empty. In particular I was having trouble with keys.gnupg.net and was wondering if there was a newer recommended server to use, hoping to find that in an updated copy of that sample file.
