Hi Werner,

thanks for your followup.

Fair enough.  But --list-sigs doesn't list the signature algorithm used
neither.  It is exported anywhere accessible for the user?

Indeed I do know how to decipher it[0].  However Debian did place an emphasis
on using SHA256 instead of SHA1 (or MD5 for that matter) for signatures and
providing a bit more visibility would've been helpful.

Kind regards
