Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment:

We had a look at this bug during a sprint last week.  First, it is reasonable 
to use --sign without --identity, as gpg will fall back to a default identity 
(see the description of --local-user and --default-key in the gpg man page).  
Second, it looks like you run distutils commands from a script or makefile and 
you have a bug there (the “skipped "gn"” message looks suspicious, maybe -sign 
was used instead of --sign and interpreted as -s -i gn).  Finally, even though 
we thing this is not a bug, we agreed that it would be nicer to print a message 
to make clear that distutils2 is not broken but shows the error message from 
gpg on purpose; this may be done during the next sprint.
