If you would like to help testing the new ed25519 keys, below are a few
pointers about these keys.

If you decide to generate an ed25519 key, you'll get the warning below.

  gpg: WARNING: Curve25519 is not yet part of the OpenPGP standard.

To include it in the DebConf15 keyring, upload it to a keyserver and
send me a note with the fingerprint before the deadline (23:59
UTC/GMT/Zulu on Sunday 9th of August).
