And under some conditions 0.9.5 will import the very same user ID
(with copies of the signatures) twice:

pub  1024D/97414BD2 1999-03-24 [revoked]
rev        97414BD2 1999-03-25  insecure key #2, Bodo Moeller <bmoeller at acm.org>

sig        97414BD2 1999-03-24  insecure key #2, Bodo Moeller <bmoeller at acm.org>

These two self-signatures on the User ID are exactly the same (not one
of the extra signatures produced by 0.9.3 I reported on earlier, which
I got rid of manually).
