I still have to carefully read the rest of the your reply, but, first, I have to ask a question about this workaround: I am considering using a Pin-Priority of -30000 (which has the advantage of being representable as a 16-bit signed integer, just in case some tool is going to read it using such a small data type...). Do you think it can be sufficiently low? P.S.: yes, I know, maybe it would be better, if I converted this hard-coded value into a configuration setting, but I am convinced (probably out of laziness!) that it would be an overkill... ;-) -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
