I edit my own public key:

[ultimate] (1). Ismael Valladolid <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I'd like to edit my uid, adding my second surname and setting the
company I work for as a comment. However I don't know how to modify an
existing uid. Can it be done? If so, how? If not posible, why not?

Of course I can add new uids using the adduid command:

[ultimate] (1)  Ismael Valladolid <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[ unknown] (2)  Ismael Valladolid Torres (Oberthur Card Systems)
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[ unknown] (3). Ismael Valladolid Torres <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Looks like it would be enough deleting uid 1 and setting uid 2 and
primary, then it would "look like" I had edited the first uid. However
in that case I lose the "ultimate" tag to the left of the primary key.
What does this tag mean here? Which way to have this tag for the new
uids created?

Cordially, Ismael
