Yes, I'm saying instead of just letting sa-update fail with the generic GNU
message and GNU hyperlink, setting the user off on a PhD Thesis effort
of trying to figure out what to do, instead just detect the problem and print 
out:
----------------
Hello, this is the sa-update program talking to you.
We've detected a problem.
You need to do
$ wget http://spamassassin.apache.org/updates/GPG.KEY
$ sa-update --import GPG.KEY
and then run sa-update again. Thank you.
----------------
Have that hardwired into the sa-update program, ready and waiting for
the next time it fails. What could be wrong with that? You can even add:
----------------
If that doesn't work, use sa-update --nogpg, and consult
