While I was reading Developer's Reference [1], in the part about gpg keys, it says:
"You need a type 4 key for use in Debian Development. Your key length [...]" I supposed that it refers about the "gpg --gen-key" command, and the options that result from executing it. Also I remember that, *in the past*, it was a "4" option which was something about ElGamal sign and encryption, or something like that. But now, in the Sarge's version of gpg, there is only option 1,2, and 5. So, I ask: now what is the preferred way to generete a gpg key to become a debian developer? The "4" expression, and my interpretation, in that paragraph is it correct? Just want to know. And if it is a bug, I hope somebody could change it to avoid confusion. Thanks. Erick.
