Change of $ORKPLACE, and a b0rken key policy regarding the old one. I
wouldn't say the old key is probably compromised, but I feel better
with an entirely new key created in a well-known "clean" environment.

I would end up without a valid key in the Debian keyring for months
since it is well known that it takes months to get a new key into the
Debian keyring - as usual with paranoia related roles in Debian (DAM,
ftpmaster) without any form of traceable feedback.
