I've verified that key works using the scripts posted by Christoph Berg.
The key is available when searching through the web interface on
keyserver.pgp.com. I guess it has not yet propagated to other servers?

The key ID is: 0xDECAB207 with fingerprint

    AB8E 3295 2111 3703 2823  E67C E5D2 B4E5 DECA B207

This key has not been signed by a DD so that is the next logical step
to do. Know any DD in the proximity of Uppsala/Sweden or
Stockholm/Sweden?

The other key(s) you found is the one I use at work. I only use that key
when signing/encrypting work related stuff.
