The question is why you want to do this? Do you want to filter
signatures you are merging into a key? I can understand that there
might be a need to avoid key-signatures which play havoc with ones key
(Use a keyserver to list on my key) but I can't see a reason not to
merge a self-signature. You should consider an OpenPGP key a
distributed object with the technical need for regular syncing.
Or do you want to avoid accidental merging of a pre-created revocation
certificate? In this case I described a way to avoid this. If that is
not sufficient, I we can make the --dry-run option work for --import so
that you get only the stats.
Salam-Shalom,
