I suspect when Kristian said "per-device signing keys" the inference
was that each device might have its own signing subkey but they would
share the encryption subkey. I don't know what they meant by
"cellphone substitution." However, I have seen previous discussions
that suggested the use of different encryption keys on things like
mobile phones, which would indeed mean going to your other device to
decrypt. I think the assertion is that a key held on a mobile phone is
possibly less secure.

It is easy to propose impossible remedies.
