How about using GnuPG instead of PGP?

# apt-cache search gpg
[snip]
gpg-rsaref - RSAREF module for GNU Privacy Guard
mailcrypt - Emacs interface to GPG (and PGP) and anonymous remailers.
gpgp - GNOME front-end to GnuPG - a free PGP replacement
gpg-idea - IDEA (PGP 2.x-compatible) module for GNU Privacy Guard
gpg-rsa - RSA (PGP 2.x-compatible) module for GNU Privacy Guard


Searching for PGP *does* show packages:

# apt-cache search pgp
pgp-i - Public key encryption system (International version)
pgp5i - Public key encryption system (International version)
auto-pgp - PGP tools for command-line and Emacs use
pgp4pine - A PGP/GPG Wrapper for Pine
[snip]

Perhaps "apt-get update;apt-get install pgp-i" will do what you want? :)
