I have find a deficiency in --edit-key option:

The environment is:

There are following keys:

Subshell:alex@sword:[~]:150:> gpg -kvv jwr

[...]

So I signed 56A1520D and F9289982 and users of those keys both signed
C38B2AAD. A classical Web Of Trust situation.

Then I do the following:

Subshell:alex@sword:[~]:156:> gpg --edit-key C38B2AAD

Please decide how far you trust this user to correctly
verify other users' keys (by looking at passports,
checking fingerprints from different sources...)?

 1 = Don't know
 2 = I do NOT trust
 3 = I trust marginally
 4 = I trust fully
 s = please show me more information
 m = back to the main menu

Your decision? s
Certificates leading to an ultimately trusted key:

Your decision?

This should show at least one path to one of my keys which it is not doing.
Am I misunderstanding this feature or there is something wrong with the path
calculation?
