When I took over from Seb as release manager he gave me a couple of
keys, one to sign the release tags and one to sign the archives.

With the release of Trixie the requirements for archive signing keys
were made stricter, so I made a new 4096 bit key and put that on a
keyserver.

Unfortunately I have managed to lose this new private key. Assuming I
can't find a backup anywhere, what is the best way to proceed? I think
that creating a new key for Trixie will mean that Trixie users will
need to get a new key from the keyserver, but I am not 100% sure about
this. The whole gpg key / archive signing thing is a bit of a mystery
to me.
