you'll need a new key, and to get it signed by DDs. when i was in the
same situation some months ago, i was pointed to those resources, which
were helpful:

on why 1024 is not ok any more:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/09/msg00003.html

on creating a new key appropriate for debian:

http://keyring.debian.org/creating-key.html

on best practice for key transitions, especially with respect to the new
security features:
