The step "Certify the Tails signing key with your own key" produces confusing output:

   $ gpg --lsign-key A490D0F4D311A4153E2BB7CADBB802B258ACD84F

   pub  4096R/58ACD84F  created: 2015-01-18  expires: 2017-01-11 usage: C

   [ unknown] (2)  Tails developers <[email protected]>

   Really sign all user IDs? (y/N)

Please advise how to proceed.
The default answer (N) drops me to a gpg prompt with the hint "Select the user IDs to sign". (How? My best guess is "2", then "save".)
The other answer (y) gets the response:

   gpg: no default secret key: secret key not available

   Key not changed so no update needed.

Is this a warning, a failure, or OK?

The verification step contains "Good signature". Is that unconditionally good? I get a warning that might be related to the certification failure, if it is a failure. I can't tell.

   $ gpg --keyid-format 0xlong --verify tails-i386-2.4.iso.sig
   tails-i386-2.4.iso
   gpg: Signature made Mon 06 Jun 2016 04:32:28 PM EDT
