What is the difference in the end result between --keyserver-options
self-sigs-only and --import-options import-minimal? I think the former
keeps all self sigs and the latter only the most recent valid self sig?
Is it perhaps possible to incorporate the desired functionality of
self-sigs-only into import-minimal, avoiding another extra option?
Perhaps the extra granularity of self-sigs-only is not a useful feature
for users, and poisoned keys should just be imported by import-minimal
which could automatically imply the current functionality of
self-sigs-only.

HTH,

Peter.
