Bug#939198: hokey lint: please alert if primary key is not marked with certification-capability

Package: hopenpgp-tools
Version: 0.21.3-1
Severity: wishlist

RFC 4880 says:

    In a V4 key, the primary key MUST be a key capable of certification.

(see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#page-71)

"hokey lint" currently doesn't notice when the primary key's self-sig
does not have a certification-capable key flag set.  It probably should.

Thanks for maintaining hopenpgp-tools!
