Hi,

SRM is considering using an ed25519 GPG key for bookworm. Does anyone
see any issues with that?

We've tested merging signatures from a (different) ed25519 key and an
RSA key using dak's "gpg-merge-signatures" script, and gpgv is happy to
verify the result on an oldoldstable (Debian 9 / stretch) system.

We know that GPG(V) 1.X can't handle EC keys, which means that the
signatures won't be verifiable on jessie. jessie is still supported
externally via ELTS, but I don't know that anyone's trying to use it to
verify signatures from bookworm.

Thanks,

Adam
