Steve's key 29982E5A (which was used to sign your key 6286FB6D) is not
in the DD keyring anymore.

Note that due to weaknesses found with the SHA1 hashing algorithm Debian
wants stronger RSA keys that are at least 4096 bits and preferring SHA2.
To create one, see Creating a new GPG key[0]. Also see OpenPGP Best
Practices[1]. 

Please consider using a strong 4Kb RSA key for your DM application.

Please read the thread starting at:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/09/msg00003.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/09/msg00270.html

To migrate your WoT, you should read "HOWTO prep for migration off of
SHA-1 in OpenPGP" at [2].
