The selection of "trust-model direct" tells your copy of GNUPG to
ignore signatures, and thereby removes validity from all the keys on
the keyring that are validated by signatures.

"Trust: ultimate" validates a key whatever "trust-model" is in
operation, (but also allows whoever controls that key to tell your
copy of GnuPG what keys to accept).

"Trust:" followed by any other option except "ultimate"
appears to have no effect unless the "trust-model direct" is in
operation.

Have I got this right?
