^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-)
I can't test it because I'm not subscribed to Debian mailing lists and
thus I don't get copies of the messages. But just two quick notes on your
question:
1/ Mutt can verify PGP/GPG signatures (inline and detached) automatically
or on user demand so why not using Mutt instead having to deal with the
raw message? Mutt itself does the hard job of injecting "gpg" with the
correct format of the message, separating the signature from the signed
content.
2/ A common error when you have to manually verify the signature it comes
from the extra lines you leave between the content of the message body
and the signature which makes the verification proccess to fail. Removing
the extra lines solves the problem and the signature can be properly
checked.
