Hey Danilo - The gpg key module isn't finished so it is disabled.  It
won't show up in ecryptfs-manager.  Ubuntu should not be
building/shipping it.  They don't ship the OpenSSL key module, which is
what I suspect you want to use.

To get OpenSSL support, you'll have to build from source.  Feel free to
stop by the OFTC/#ecryptfs IRC channel if you run into any problems
along the way.

I suspect Ubuntu will begin shipping the NSS
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/366393) and GPG
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/327277) key modules when they
are completed.  Please subscribe to those bugs to keep track of the
status.  If you are a developer, we'd love for you to contribute to
either of those key modules.  :)

BTW, I've verified that this is not an actual bug in ecryptfs-utils-79.
Enabled key modules show up in ecryptfs-manager.
