The new error will read:

| (dput)[tag at leliel:~/dev/debian/collab-maint/dputng][⎇  master] →  ./bin/dcut dm --uid 0x83573875 --allow foo
| Uploading commands file to ftp.upload.debian.org (incoming: /pub/UploadQueue/)
| 
| There was an error looking up the DM's key
| 
|  dput-ng uses the DM keyring in /usr/share/keyrings/
|  as the keyring to pull full fingerprints from.
| 
|  Please ensure your keyring is up to date:
| 
|    sudo apt-get install debian-keyring
| 
|  Or, if you can not get the keyring, you may use their
|  full fingerprint (without spaces) and pass the --force
|  argument in. This goes to dak directly, so try to
|  pay attention to formatting.
| 
| 
| DM fingerprint lookup for argument 0x83573875 failed. GnuPG returned error: gpg: error reading key: public key not found

Is this OK? I'd love an ACK/NACK. It's all staged up and will make it into
the next routine upload of dput-ng.

Thanks for the bug, mika!

Cheers,
  Paul
