I think this is reasonable.  We're already setting epg-gpg-program in
test/test-lib.sh, and in debian, epg-gpg-program is provided by
epg-config.el, which is part of emacs$VERSION-el, which is a dependency
of emacs$VERSION-common.

If we wanted to be extra careful, we could try to make it fall back to
plain "gpg" if epg-gpg-program is unset.

fwiw, debian will be shipping gpg2 as /usr/bin/gpg in stretch, and the
old 1.4 branch will be /usr/bin/gpg1 -- is there a reason that NixOS
isn't shipping gpg2 as /usr/bin/gpg ?
