Any MBF should be discussed first on debian-devel@ first. For me,
this seems a small violation and it would be preferable to stick with
severity normal to not appear too agressive.

Oh, yes, I remember now. On my own packages, I have removed the GPG
signature because of this. I don't know what's the stance of the FTP
masters on this particular problem, so I don't know if it's best to get
rid of the warning or just leave it as is. In your case, I would just
remove the key since it is not used.

> Thanks a bunch for the review,

Looks good. Tell me what you want to do about the remaining lintian
warning.
