 Replying to [ticket:3379 rransom]:

 {{{
 The output should look somewhat like this:

   gpg: Good signature from 'Roger Dingledine <arma at mit.edu>'
 }}}

 The message contains Roger's user ID, even if the package attached to it
 is signed by (for example) Erinn.

 nickm suggests that the GetTor message not use the user ID of any real key
 in its example, because then users will trust that user ID to sign the
 package.  I don't know what would be better, though; users who need to use
 GetTor can't read [https://www.torproject.org/docs/verifying-signatures
 our verifying-signatures page].
