Regarding this ElGamal sign bug, the only thing I heard of were a very
few Debian developers who lost all their key signatures and have to
start again gathering new signatures from their co-Debian developers.
However there was no anger about this it sounds more like, "oops, I
shoot myself into my foot with my self-build secure thing".
