Rolf,

   You're right, but my understanding from Warly during the various beta
and rc cycles was that anything in release contrib is resigned with
MDK's sig before release. (at least there where a lot of people checking
this point for him.) with cooker contrib yes... this is a problem. (and
people are always noting bad sigs there.)  However nothing new gets
added to release contrib does it?  It would seem that updates would go
into update not straight into contrib.  But maybe I'm mistaken.
