You need to install gnupg-doc, which is i) a suggested package of the gnupg package; and ii) guaranteed to match the version of gnupg you have installed (how would your method deal with that - package multiple versions of every manual?) It shows up in my Emacs just fine (Ubuntu 14.04) with no configuration needed. > But I re-assert that is a problem. If "because we can doesn't mean we > should" is a gateway to ELPA then you've got a problem. AFAICS Stefan takes a very inclusive approach with elpa.gnu.org. Your specific proposal just doesn't seem to make much sense.
