Yes, it is very important to follow up on this issue as soon as you
can (now) to see if any of your keys or those of your users are
affected. Additionally, it should be noted that in the case of *DSA*

to communicate with a Debian server with the botched OpenSSL. An
explanation of this problem is provided here:
