Public bug reported:

Currently Debian suggests 4096 RSA kekysize when creating a new RSA key
yet the maximum gpa on ubuntu bionic will allow is 3072.

What should happen: higher keysizes for new keys should be an option
(and maybe 1024 shouldn't be an option anymore?) , 2048, 3072, 4096,
8192

what does happen  : keysizes for new keys are only 1024, 1536, 2048
(default), 3072

gpg does allow at least 4096 (try gpg --full-generate-key) so it stands
to reason this should be presented to the user as an option

gpg:  2.2.4-1ubuntu1.2
ubuntu: 18.04 bionic LTS
