GPGKEY is mentioned in several receipts and scripts such as:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto#Setting_the_key_to_be_the_default
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/SetupWithMinidinstall
But it is true that it is not used in other scripts in util-modular and
I have not found an actual use in other widespread scripts and programs
so I can agree zeroing it out is harmless and safer.
I new patch will follow.
