Oddly, the Debian maintainer has yet to move it upstream. Gnupg added a feature to do this in version 1.0.7, although unfortunately it's poorly documented so not many people seem to know about it. The option is --refresh-keys. In 1.0.7 it was only documented in the release notes. In 1.2.0 it's listed when you run "gpg -h" but it's still not documented in the man page. Walt
