I think maybe the issue was an expired PGP signature. My key expired
earlier this year, I extended the validity (hours before the key
expired, I don't know if that mattered). I tried to upload the key (with
the extended validity) to SKS [0] but that did not work, I don't
remember what the issue was. I did upload the key to Ubuntu [1] and I
thought that would be sufficient, since I thought all PGP keyservers
sync'd with each other. But now reading about GPG keys in Debian [2] it
seems that the Debian keyserver only send keys to other keyservers, it
does not import from other keyservers.
So now Debian has my updated key, and I re-uploaded the package (I still
had the files locally). While they uploaded [3] I don't see any
confirmation (from FTP Master nor from the Debian tracker).
So do I bump the Debian version (to -2) and upload that? And since the
package will not have a Debian version number of -1 do I have to do
something extra to get the source to be included?
