New patch attached, thanks.

> Is this an awkward phrasing to optimize TeX typesetting?

I don't know as I somehow kept the structure of the original sentence.

Feel free to improve the phrasing as the important part is that the chance
in default is reflected here. (A potential additional improvement could be 
that it is generated into that place of the documentation, so it is not 
forgotten next time the default is changed.)

Regards,
Bernhard

 * adust gpg.texi to mention the default for `--default-new-key-algo`,
   which was changed to ed25519 with ff31dde456f32950f0df6c974b4c41f1d650d68f.

 This option can be used to change the default algorithms for key
 generation. The @var{string} is similar to the arguments required for
 the command @option{--quick-add-key} but slightly different.  For
-example the current default of @code{"rsa2048/cert,sign+rsa2048/encr"}
-(or @code{"rsa3072"}) can be changed to the value of what we currently
-call future default, which is @code{"ed25519/cert,sign+cv25519/encr"}.
+example the current default of @code{"ed25519/cert,sign+cv25519/encr"}
+can be changed to the previous default:
+@code{"rsa3072/cert,sign+rsa3072/encr"}.
 You need to consult the source code to learn the details.  Note that
 the advanced key generation commands can always be used to specify a
 key algorithm directly.
