Right, I strongly agree with Luca here. To be clear, if I spot any key
that's both in any of the Debian keyrings and in keybase.io, I will
proceed as if the key had been lost or compromised and immediately
remove it from our keyring.

Not that I will be checking for it (for now, at least). Not that I
have even talked about it within the team. But I strongly think it's
one of the duties of us as keyring maintainers. (Cc:ing for a reality
check ;-) )
