You're right.  I was thinking about the case where all the self-sigs
get updated at once (e.g. "expire").  It would be possible to cheat a
bit there and just timestamp the primary one second earlier.  However,
this problem exists with "setpref" as well, and that may only apply to
one uid.  A mess.

I'll add a warning.
