I do respect Heise's CA but for Debian-purposes a Developer should have signed your key by meeting you face-to-face. The whole point here is the "introduced by somebody" concept. I doubt if anybody will sign your key just because it is signed by a CA he respects. If somebody does so, I'd consider it a serious breach of Debian's web of trust. > I'd be grateful if some German developer were able to sign my key! Your GnuPG key suggests you are studying in Munich. There are two developers studying at the computer science at the TU (adrin@debian.org, weasel@debian.org) and myself studing CS as well at the LMU. I'm sure something can be arranged here. # It's a small world.
