I find it strange that you would make this mistake. Entertaining
as it might be to follow your example and accuse you of spreading FUD,
I'll assume rather that it was an oversight. It's not PGP5 that
Debian has an issue with, it's non-RSA keys. They key that I use to
sign all of my packages and that is on the Debian keyring was
generated with PGP 5.0.
PGP 5.0 is fine. Just don't generate DH/DSS keys.
