I've re-thought this already. Is update-alternatives the right thing to
use here? Maybe not as there isn't anything else that provides gpgv and
gnupg_1.* and gnupg_2.* probably can't co-exist on the same install. I
could just add a line to do_install_append() to create the gpgv link
manually, similar to how the link for gpg is already created. Please
let me know which is the better solution here.

I also noticed that gnupg_1.4.7.bb splits gpgv into a separate package
but gnupg_2.0.19 doesn't. I could write a patch to modify one of these
to match the other if desired?

Thanks,
