@item Why does GPG's --search-key list weird keys?
For performance reasons the keyservers do not check the keys the same
way @command{gpg} does. It may happen that the listing of keys
available on the keyservers shows keys with wrong user IDs or with user
Ids from other keys. If you try to import this key, the bad keys or bad
user ids won't get imported, though. This is a bit unfortunate but we
can't do anything about it without actually downloading the keys.
