That is possible. If there's interest, I'll do some path analysis on the
data.

Besides that 93 key SCC, there is a single 3-key SCC and five 2-key
SCC's. I didn't consider them worth including, since they're so small. I
suppose for accuracy I should have said "the 93 keys in the primary
SCC".

Note that this is based on /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg, which
may or may not be up-to-date.

I recently found a copy of the PGP global keyring... but it seems to
contain over 250,000 keys. Anyone know of any databases that can handle
that many entries that don't have to have a daemon associated?
