Do you mean increasing the key length, or other stuff too?

For the other stuff, here are some nice links:

- https://debian-administration.org/users/dkg/weblog/48
- https://help.riseup.net/en/security/message-security/openpgp/best-practices
- the hopenpgp-tools package to check your key -- very useful!

Some people use transition statements like this one:

However, most Debian people will want to meet you in person again in
order to re-sign your key.
