On Fedora 21, /usr/bin/gpg2 is installed by the package for version
2.x.x (gnupg2-2.0.25-2) and /usr/bin/gpg is installed by the package for
version 1.x.x (gnupg-1.4.18-4). I would not expect to use /usr/bin/gpg
when I installed gnupg2, because that only comes with /usr/bin/gpg2.
I happen to have both installed on my Fedora system.
I do not think that we should override upstream's decision to call these
executables by a different name.
