Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.1-1
Severity: normal

gnupg is getting complicated, and that imho risks security.  even
though the man page clearly says it's only a summary, a clear man page
will help mitigate the risk.

for example, the web says:

        * Two new commands --hidden-recipient (-R) and --hidden-encrypt-to
          encrypt to a user, but hide the identity of that user.  This is
          the same functionality as --throw-keyid, but can be used on a
          per-user basis.

please make this clear in the man page.

example #2: the description of ! and = in specifying keyids is not
sufficient to know what the difference is.  can this be elaborated?

let me know if i am using the wrong severity.  i have far bigger issues
with gnupg, and this is only minor to me in relation.
