I suppose that most of the time you'll get lucky and one of the key uids
will match LDAP, but you still lose on DMs.  And it's certainly not
required that one of the key uids matches anything in LDAP.

By checking against a keyring, which still doesn't tell you which uid to
use for contact information.  Remember, when the parsing of *.changes
failed, you don't have any of the metadata for the package, since you
can't trust the results of a failed parse.
