While we're at it, we could drop screenshots (as adviced by GNOME
documentation guidelines, that some of us found very inspiring) and
get rid of this problem.

The symmetric one is called "openpgp_passphrase_encryption", so
perhaps we want to have this one contain "_encryption" too?

I'm not sure "the same tool is used" is a good criterion for deciding
how we organize end-user documentation.
These are pretty different usecases, probably targetting quite
different people, so I'd rather keep separate (shorter) pages.
E.g. some people use symmetric encryption, and don't even know any
other kind of encryption exists, so pointing them to a page where both
are documented may be an additional factor of confusion. Keeping these
pages separate also makes it easier to link to the one or the other.
