Excellent.

I had a look at the patches Debian applies to gnupg for current stable 
(bookworm). There doesn't seem to be a patch that changes the default. Maybe 
they ship a global configuration file, but I couldn't find anything in the gpg-
agent package. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. I know near nothing 
about Debian packaging.
