I think the bug is aimed at the wrong package. Nothing debsig-verify does can fix this. If we don't have the infrastructure, then apt/dpkg/whatever need to not use the feature by default. Assuming someone wants to use this feature, one would assume they are setting up their own package infrastructure, and one would assume that they also are doing a lot to configure this. Enabling apt/dpkg to use it is minor compared to the rest of the work. Why is it enabled by default? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
