I generated keys for all buildds on my laptop back then.  But then other people
are also approaching me with "hey, I think something broke, can you have a
look" instead of insulting me.

True enough.  There was also a solution for the Lenny hosts that could've been
incorporated into the package?  I wonder why that didn't happen.

Oh I apologized in the channel often enough.  I also fixed all issues that
where raised to me.  The key one is by design and I would've prefered it in the
postinst to ensure continuous operation.  KiBi vetoed automatic key generation
in #607945 which I find a tad more unsuitable.
