Yes, it makes more sense to leave that decision to the GUI part. The
simple UI may want to suppress displaying the self-signature, the
advanced UI may want to make it ause preference.

Something else about the signatures in gpapa:

gpg --list-sigs shows the signatures for each if the user id's
associated with a key. Gpapa doesn't even seem to have a way to find out
which UIDs belong to a given key, let alone getting a list of sigs for
it.
