What with 2048R keys?  Is there a reason to replace them already, or are
they ok for now?  As I understand, only 1024D keys are considered risky.

In 2009 I was told (not sure by whom: could be you but I don't really
remember) to use 2048R because 4096 is not supported by some software.

I currently have two keys:
2048R/EAC68101 -- primary
4096R/8F61E158 -- collecting signatures in case of a rollover

Normally a weaker but still secure key with more signatures is better,
but in this case, a single debconf keysigning party instantly makes
a key well-connected.

So, what should I do?  Keep it as-is, or drop the 2048 key and replace
it with a freshly generated one?
