I think yes. Currently (as in Emacs branch emacs-25) it's this:

    (defcustom epg-gpg-program (cond ((executable-find "gpg") "gpg")
                                     ((executable-find "gpg2") "gpg2")
                                     (t "gpg"))
      "The `gpg' executable."
      :group 'epg
      :type 'string)

I suggest this:

    (defcustom epg-gpg-program (cond ((executable-find "gpg2") "gpg2")
                                     (t "gpg"))
      "The `gpg' executable."
      :group 'epg
      :type 'string)
