The command line syntax is not compatible.
There is a subset of compatibility, which is how we made virt-builder
work interchangably with both, but as soon as you want to do anything
advanced you need to know if you're using gpg1 or gpg2.
(BTW another small complication to catch the unwary is that "gpgv2" is
not "GPG Version 2", but GPG in Verification-only mode, version 2.)
Having said all of that, GPG 1 is obsolete. The only use would be
supporting PGP 2 messages, which seem to date from the early-mid 1990s.
