Last year, on this list, I said:

Aníbal responded and asked if anyone had any objections to removing the
1024D keys. There were none, so he did.
I stand by my statement from last year. While the keysigning party is,
as you say, not the Debian keyring it is not the case that the keyring
team arbitrarily decided to move away from 1024 bit keys. It was a
decision taken in the wider crypto context.
