I have a question about paperkey, bearing in mind that this application
may not always be available can one restore the secret key just using
the printed paperkey and the public key from keyservers manually.

Otherwise if I know I can always get a copy of the application from a cd
or usb isn't that the same a keeping my secret key on cd or usb.
