Daniel basically said that "first clean then import [to local keyring]"
and you confirmed that import-clean does exactly this.

But then...

...here you and the manual say that "first import [to local keyring]
then clean".

So there are conflicting messages. Which of the two happens?

I think everyone would prefer that import-clean would do all the
checking and cleaning before importing certificates to the local
keyring. The same thing with import-minimal.
