Err, so what?  It's still the same secret/public key pair.  You can
still upload with it.

Then you don't read debian-devel-announce@ do you?  *plonk*

Look, do you want some stupid auto-responder?  I simply refuse to
waste my time sending "sorry, I'm busy (not busy enough that I can't
waste my time sending crap like this tho), and can't process your key
yet" messages by hand.  So you have two choices: a) non-automatic
response when and only when the mail is processed or b) an automated
response to all mails.
