dak - utf8 mails, "partly" expired keys



Hi

just some minutes ago two patches got applied to the dak instance on
ftp-master.debian.org (thanks to James for applying them).

The first is one that lets dak send mail that correctly declares that
its body can have utf8 contents. That is simply done for every mail by
adding the 3 header lines below, which should be enough. After all our
non-ascii content of the files are said to be utf8...

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit


The second patch is one changing daks handling of expired
(sub)keys. Imagine you have a key that has one or more subkeys attached,
one of them expired. If you tried to sign your upload with such a key,
even if you used a non-expired subkey - dak did reject your upload, no
matter if you like it or not. In future it should no longer do this, by
ignoring such cases, only rejecting if the key used to sign the upload
is invalid/expired/whatever, not just one other part of it. (Of course
all other reject reasons related to key problems still apply).


Both patches, as well as one other (which is only visible for me doing
NEW (changing lintian options in the NEW package examine tool)), have
been developped during the QA meeting in Extremadura.
