ok reading riseup's document on best practices i was covinced about the
no-honor-keyserver-url option to be set.
https://help.riseup.net/en/security/message-security/openpgp/best-practices#ensure-that-all-keys-are-refreshed-through-the-keyserver-you-have-selected

¨This is useful because (1) it prevents someone from designating an
insecure method for pulling their key and (2) if the server designated
uses hkps, the refresh will fail because the ca-cert will not match, so
the keys will never be refreshed. Note also that an attacker could
designate a keyserver that they control to monitor when or from where
you refresh their key.¨


and i dont really know enough about cyphers to have an opinion on the
cyphers. but yea, now that you mention it, i realise that regarding
releases and changes it is better to stick more to duraconf, or in any
case try to convince the riseup people

I will dive on git and come back with a cleaner patch based in devel

cheers
