This looks great, and thanks for working on it.

I was wondering if you could provide explicit options to this variable
with :tag descriptions, so users customizing this variable have a nice
interface? Something like (the middle one is very untested):

    :type `(choice (const :tag "Default GnuPG directory in user's home 
directory" nil)
                   (const :tag "The default Emacs package management GnuPG home 
directory" ,(expand-file-name "gnupg" package-user-dir))
                   (directory :tag "A specific GnuPG --homedir")

Thanks!
