OpenPGP is disabled in 78 - it can be enabled with a configuration line,
but it's disabled for a reason, right?
It is fully enabled in 80, the current Beta, and seemingly works well in

However, the calendar still doesn't support Google calendars, which is
my main calendar, so I binned the trial and decided to wait for an
official APT release...
