Control: severity -1 minor
Control: retitle -1 gpg-key2ps should list curve names for ECC keys rather than 
$ALGO$LENGTH

Lowered the severity as there is AFAICT no promise that the output
format matches the one from `gpg --list-keys`.  Showing $ALGO$LENGTH for
ECC keys, like what's done for RSA, DSA and ElGalmal keys isn't wrong,
even though showing the curve name would be more precise.  I don't
really speak PostScript so I'm unlikely to change that myself; patch
welcome :-)  See also https://bugs.debian.org/869398 .

In the meantime one can use gpg-key2latex(1) from the same package,
which doesn't have this issue, at the expense of heavier dependencies
(the TexLive suite).
