- Which key goes on the paper slab that everybody uses to collect
  signatures? The certification only master key?
- For which (set of) keys should I have revocation certificates on file?
- What key goes into the Debian keyring? A signing (only?) subkey of the
  certification master key? Is it recommended to have this key
  "available", for example in a Gnuk on my keychain next to the key to
  my home?
- Which (set of) keys goes to the key servers?
