The following;

gpg: writing to stdout
:public key packet:
        version 4, algo 1, created 1068589881, expires 0
        pkey[0]: [2048 bits]
        pkey[1]: [5 bits]
:user ID packet: "Test <test at test.mail>"

Here is what we get when clear signing;

Reading passphrase from file descriptor 0
gpg: using secondary key 721FD0D1 instead of primary key 4A5C8066

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Test <test at test.mail>"
gpg: using secondary key 721FD0D1 instead of primary key 4A5C8066
4096-bit RSA key, ID 721FD0D1, created 2003-11-11 (main key ID 4A5C8066)
