It is definetly better, because your private can change, your debian email

No need for that. Just add a new userid to your key = pgp -ke
Then you _may_ redistribute your pgp-key (though it would be better ;), but
your 'old' not updated key is valid, too.

Do an "export [EMAIL PROTECTED]" and changelog and control will hold

Nope. That's no good. Having a pgp-key for each purpose would surely break
