As far as I know, it is new in gnupg 2.4 and still optional.
It also seems to be a bit of a controversial "feature", but I don't
claim to understand the reasons for that.
As far as I can tell, it is treated as optional on debian too.

Yes, that was an intentional decision on my part to not conflict with
that in-flight Change Proposal.

Though it would probably make sense to change the OpenPGP signature
verification macros to only depend on gnupg2-verify (or maybe even sqv
or sqopv) when that is the only component that is needed.
