we still have:

	$ grep Kleine-K keys/E2DCDD9132669BD6.asc
	grep: keys/E2DCDD9132669BD6.asc: binary file matches

instead of:

	$ grep Kleine-K keys/E2DCDD9132669BD6.asc
	uid                      Uwe Kleine-K=F6nig <[email protected]>
	uid                      Uwe Kleine-K=F6nig <uwe@kleine-k=F6nig.de>

	uid                      Uwe Kleine-K=F6nig <[email protected]>

with this patch.

Is this still on your radar?

If you have problems to apply it, calling export-keyring.py with
`--update-header` is how I generated the patch.

Best regards
Uwe
