Thanks for information. However, I follow the instruction for GNU
maintainers, which requires a certain procedure to upload the tarballs
to the main ftp site:

        For each upload destined for ftp.gnu.org or alpha.gnu.org, 
        three files (a triplet) need to be uploaded via ftp ...

         (1) File to distributed (eg. foo.tar.gz)

         (2) Detached GPG binary signature for (1) (using gpg -b)
            (eg. foo.tar.gz.sig)

         (3) Clearsigned "directive" file (using gpg --clearsign)
             (eg. foo.tar.gz.directive.asc)

I cannot change my gpg keys, because this would invalidate my signature
recognized at GNU.


Best regards,

Andrew Makhorin
