Package: lintian
Version: 2.116.3
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: none, Xiyue Deng
We encountered a case that persist[1] from elpa has more than signing
keys and one of the public keys is missing. As the output of `gbp
import-orig --uscan' shows[2], the EDDSA public key could not be found.
Instead, the RSA was available in the repo[3] and passed the signature
check. So instead I used the `uscan --skip-signature' to get the
upstream tarball and prepared the packaging. Paul Wise asked me to
check whether lintian would still warning about the missing key in the
built package, and it didn't.
This might be considered a rather rare case with multiple signing keys,
and Paul suggested to file a bug against lintian nonetheless to keep a
record on this case.
