Easy enough to check:
[noodles@the ~/d-k/master-keyring]$ pgpdump <
debian-keyring-gpg/0xB5679467473F7EFA | grep "Thom May"
User ID - Thom May <[email protected]>
User ID - Thom May <[email protected]>
User ID - Thom May <[email protected]>
User ID - Thom May <[email protected]>
User ID - Thom May <[email protected]>
User ID - Thom May <[email protected]>
User ID - Thom May <[email protected]>
User ID - Thom May <[email protected]>
User ID - Thom May <[email protected]>
So it's all in the same keyfile rather than mismerging multiple key
files. What have we done with this key?
[noodles@the ~/d-k/master-keyring]$ git log
debian-keyring-gpg/0xB5679467473F7EFA
commit e23909e93e31755bc5c2b8b7627ec68e7a99f914
Author: Jonathan McDowell <[email protected]>
Date: Wed Mar 12 11:09:44 2008 +0000
Initial import of current Debian keyring
Obtained from rsync://keyring.debian.org::keyrings/keyrings/
So it hasn't been touched since initial import.
