The Tails signing key consists of two subkeys. Both are valid.

The change depends on who of the two Release Managers works and signs
the ISO. For the last three ISOs, anonym was the RM. And for 2.5 it was
intrigeri. This is public information, sent everytime to tails-dev,
before a release.

Here are the fingerprints I have:
