Damn... But yes, you are right. ;)

Yes, tested with gnupg 1.4.10 from Debian squeeze (6.x).
Everybody is welcome to test on her/his distribution, though. ;)

Yes, we need this.
Some tests check for the trust level, e.g t7510-signed-commit.sh being one of
these.

Makes sense.
In addition I do check if gpg does work if --rfc1991 is given, no more
