Bug#748507: apt-secure(8) manpage says that only DMs can sign uploads



Package: apt
Version: 1.0.3
Severity: minor

The apt-secure(8) manpage reads:

"The chain of trust in Debian starts when a maintainer uploads a new package or a new version of a package to the Debian archive. In order to become effective, this upload needs to be signed by a key contained in the Debian Maintainers keyring (available in the debian-keyring package)."

To the best of my knowledge, not only Debian Maintainers can sign uploads; Debian Developers can do that, too! :-P
