Bug Description

 - quickly release uses debsign to sign the package
 - debsign uses the specified mail to find a pgp key with that ID
 - if there is no pgp key that matches, quickly release fails at the debsign stage

rather, we should either:
1. Be so robust that it can create a suitable pgp on the fly (doubtful)
2. Test for pgp keys before it runs, and give a suitable error

I should point, getting this key signing stuff working was *very* frustrating. If we can smooth this out, it will help developer tremendously.

Actually, creating a PGP key on the fly wouldn't be too hard, given that every Ubuntu environment should have the ability to do so. Sure, this may include running a few shell commands during the setup phase (and yeah, creating those keys if they don't exist should be a part of the setup process).

So basically, instead of just perpetuating an error, we have code run that fixes the error for us. I may have something in a week or so, if I don't forget.

Of course, but the key has to be pushed on LP as well, and here is the mess :)

So, we can help user setup the key, and then print instructions so that user upload their gpg public key.

Jim McCormick : to help user generating gpg key and LP process (the same happens to ssh as well), see bug #408993
