I'm also in the avoiding rename camp.

What does upstream say about best practices?  I recall that they are
going to add a feature to gnupg-1.4.x to install it as gpg1.  Until then, I
don't think we should change gnupg2-2.x to install as gpg.

I think it's great if we can remove the need for people who don't
actually want gnupg 1 to install it.  But I don't see the win in
immediate renaming, as I would expect more than half already point to
gpg2.
