FWIW;
Found this after rummaging through whatever 'locate gnupg' turned up on
my default Sarge install....
/usr/share/doc/gnupg2/changelog.Debian.gz
=====================================================================
gnupg2 (1.9.15-6) unstable; urgency=high
* Move gpg-protect-tool to the gpgsm package.
Closes: #303492.
High urgency because this renders gpgsm unuseable for some people.
* gpg-agent: Override max-cache-ttl if a higher default is set.
Closes: #302692.

On the web I found this;
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug#302692: gnupg-agent: Don't use (undocumented) max-cache-ttl switch
Package: gnupg-agent
Version: 1.9.15-5
Severity: normal
Hi!
If one wants to set default-cache-ttl to a large value, e.g. one day
the line "default-cache-ttl 86400" in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf alone
doesn't do the trick, but one also must add "max-cache-ttl 86400". This
later parameter is undocumented and confusing and should be removed,
i.e. one should be able to set large values directly by just
default-cache-ttl.
Thanks!
Georg
