Yeah.

debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pure64/wanna-build/secring.gpg
<http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.o...ild/secring.gpg>
is Forbidden, but

ftp.belnet.be/linux/debian-amd64/wanna-build/secring.gpg
<http://ftp.belnet.be/linux/debian-a...ild/secring.gpg>
ftp.belnet.be/pub/mirror/debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/wanna-build/secring.gpg
<http://ftp.belnet.be/pub/mirror/deb...ild/secring.gpg>

are wide open.

So, with no further delay, here's the revocation certificate for the
AMD64 archive key!
Man, people had secret keys on broken in machines and those were removed
from the archive. But to have a secring.gpg on Google?

I also took the liberty to send this revocation certificate to
keyring.debian.org

-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux)
Comment: A revocation certificate should follow

Hi,

I guess this is the modern version of "real men just upload their
important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it."
