Isn't it more the case that, rather than being a petty action, this is because the Debian tools will not use gpg for this any more and gpg would not work, as it's specifically the Sequoia implementation of OpenPGP they are switching to? I have not studied the matter deeply and just trust Debian's own tools to continue withing with Debian's infrastructure, but I was aware of the schism and Debian choosing Sequoia because of the divergence. Apologies if I have misunderstood. Thanks, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
