 If you dont have your key signed by a Debian Developer please let me
 know and we can discuss it. Usually I can find someone that lives near
 you that would agree to meet you and sign your key.
 
-Besides the requirement to have a signature from at least one existing
-Debian Developer there is a strong advice to get more signatures on your
-key and to make sure you are in the strong set of keys. Of course no one
-request you to be at the top position in the world-wide Web of Trust,
-but you should try to get at least into the strong set of keys. A site

-Enter your keyid in the statistic box and see some stats about it. If it
-complains it can't find your key, and you are sure you have used the
-right ID it means that you are not in the strong set of keys, which is
-not very good. This is not a showstopper for this application, but you
-should try to get more signatures by meeting other people, exchanging
-signatures, etc.
+Although it is sufficient that you have just one signature from an
+existing Debian developer, it is strongly advised to get multiple
+signatures on your key so that your key becomes "strongly connected."
+You may check the status of your key at:

+find your key, and you are sure you have entered the correct key ID, it
+means that you are not in the strong set of keys.
