FWIW, I don't have a /usr/bin/gpg in my {amd64,i386} {stretch,sid}
cowbuilder chroots. But they are present in older ones.

I suspect I don't have them anymore because I clean my chroots (with
debfoster), and others might still have gnupg installed because it
was originally installed but never removed.

(I haven't tried, but I guess creating a new cowbuilder chroot won't
have gnupg either.) 

Cheers,
