Hello,

the upstream signing key debian/upstream/signing-key.asc might have
expired. It seems the process that leads to the DDPO dashboard happily
ignores such a situation and continues operation.

While this shouldn't do harm in the rare case of hijacking as the
package maintainer should be careful in the work anyway, it was helpful
if the DDPO page could place an extra warning like "Signature validation
failed" or "Signing key expired" here. Optionally even "... will expire
soon".

Example: libgpg-error (filed as #985793)
