I've been using pass with gpg only already since gpg 2.1.23 became available using an equivs package to fulfill the dependency. Can you make an example of a "secret key operation"? I think gpg's description is misleading. gpg can definitely generate and manipulate secret keys by itself for example. The only difference is that you need to depend on dirmngr/gpgsm or the tools package explicitly.
