There are two GnuPG packages in Debian: gnupg (without libcurl and which
uses curl-shim) and gnupg-curl (with libcurl).

$ apt-cache show gnupg
 The gnupg package is built without libcurl. So it does not support
 the keyserver helper tools built with libcurl and supporting HKPS.

$ apt-cache show gnupg-curl
 This package contains the keyserver helper tools built with libcurl,

So you need to install `gnupg-curl' which supports SOCKS. We will also
update the documentation to mention this.
