GnuPG may have changed and I didn't notice, but I'm fairly sure UIDs are
properties of the key, not of the signature. Signatures aren't specific
to a particular UID; they can't be, since all the UIDs are attached to the
same key, and the signature is only bound to the key.
The UID that you see a signature as being from is a property of your local
keyring. If you want the signature to appear to be from Andrew's Debian
address, don't import his other UIDs into your keyring.
