The thing is that the new Dirmngr in GnuPG is not yet finished.  The
goal is to either have Dirmngr running as a system daemon for all users
or start it on demand per user.  For a single user OS like Android that
would make no difference and thus I think it is better to go with the
start on demand option.  Start on demand has the advantage that it is
only started if needed and that on a crash it will be automagically
restarted.
