Indeed.

I have tested both nixpkgs recently, and sequoia-sq works great without issues.

[sequoia-chameleon-gnupg](https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/sequoia-chameleon-gnupg) also works great **but** only for [gpgv-sq](https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/sequoia-chameleon-gnupg#gpgv-sq), since [gpg-sq](https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/sequoia-chameleon-gnupg#gpg-sq) depends on `gpg-agent` (from GnuPG) and `gpgconf` (also from GnuPG) which aren’t stated as hard nor optional dependencies : [`sequoia-chameleon-gnupg`: missing dependencies for `gpg-sq` · Issue #473387 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/473387)

Also something very annoying is that git’s `gpg.format` config option has `openpgp` as a choice **but** requires the very GnuPG command interface (in which case git requires [sequoia-chameleon-gnupg](https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/sequoia-chameleon-gnupg))
