Additional patch attached to update the manpages with regard to the new
param introduced in the previously supplied patch.
I believe I may have misread the code slightly when composing the
initial bug report. I believe now that the matter only arises when the
dist script tries to set the keyring file to be used, which only has an
effect if the user has not explicitly specified via a parameter a file
to use, and then only if the default does not exist. I still stand by my
patch being worth implementing though.
