A certificate is a key with a name attached to it. So in the case of Debian developer's PGP keys, it means the same thing.
The terminology has evolved over time in order to avoid confusion between keys which do not have an identity attached to them (e.g. SSH keys) and PGP keys, which technically are a collection of multiple subkeys with a name attached to it. Regards Stephan
