gnupg doesn't show the correct version on the signature

After the gnupg upgrade on the 21st of December the
version of gnupg shown on the PGP signature is
incorrect.

Before the upgrade it showed:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (GNU/Linux)

After the upgrade it shows:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: GnuPG v1
