FYI, /wrt import of rsa keys using modules: With some keys I get
$ gpg --import t

gpg:t: key DB089309: invalid self-signature
gpg:t: key DB089309: no valid user ids
gpg: this may be caused by a missing self-signature
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: w/o user IDs: 1

$ gpg <t

pub 1127R/DB089309 1997-03-17 Lutz Donnerhacke <lutz@iks-jena.de>

The file is ascii-armored key server output but the same happens with
a key ring file, about 20% of keys aren't accepted. The right extensions
are given, of course.

The key has no certified user ID. User IDs are only accepted when
they are signed by the key they belong to.

I'm afraid things aren't so easy. The key in question _does_ have a
certified user id, but gpg says that this self signature is invalid.

BTW, it's remarkable that the public key packet and the
self-signature have precisely the same time stamp in this case,
namely 858597270.
