Sure:

tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ gpg --import /usr/share/popularity-contest/debian-popcon.gpg
gpg: key 233E3E85: no valid user IDs
gpg: this may be caused by a missing self-signature
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:           w/o user IDs: 1
2|tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ gpg2 --import /usr/share/popularity-contest/debian-popcon.gpg
gpg: keyserver option 'verbose' is unknown
gpg: keyserver option 'verbose' is unknown
gpg: key 15A07BA5233E3E85: public key "Debian popularity contest server (2020 submission key) <survey@popcon.debian.org>" imported

Turns out that the key is only compatible with gpg2.

Can you please change all calls to gpg in popcon to gpg2?
I know that gpg2 ships /usr/bin/gpg these days, but I had
to revert that to gpg1 locally for some reasons, and my
requests for them to handle that with update-alternatives
went nowhere, so I just set the symlink manually… but it
would be welcomed to not assume gpg is gpg2.
