Yes, that potentially affects, AFAIK, everything related to the --edit-key
menu. Gpapa just prints the commands in the menu without checking for the
response from gpg.

I agree.

To do it properly, I think it would require to duplicate the mechanism in
gpgme. So, I think it will be best to just go ahead and do the migration.

I will begin to work on it shortly. I think gpapa will remain in some
places, but it will actually use gpgme for all it's operations.

Just for the record, although I will keep working, my Internet connection
from tomorrow until the 15th (at least) will be through a 9600bps GSM modem.
Therefore, I may look a bit less responsive and commit less often :-)
