+We can now directly update LDAP records - That means that key updates
+can now be handled directly by us. There are several tools that can be
+used for this purpose - I'm using ud-info. For this, I have to use the
+Debian password (and given I dislike passwords, I always regenerate it
+by following http://db.debian.org/password.html and throwing it away).
+
+keyring-maint has access to updating DD keys, but _not_ to change
+their account status - That is, creating new DD accounts and retiring
+DDs requires reassigning the tickets to DSA.
+
+To edit a DD's entry, we specify his username - In this case, I will
+edit Julien Danjou (acid)'s record (only the first couple of lines
+shown), and a short menu of actions:
+
+$ ud-info -r -u acid

+The record will be shown again. Note that the old key will still be

+*** Helper script helps!
+
+    The parse-git-changelog script will generate a ldap-update
+    file. Each line contains the updates for a user: Debian login,
+    old key fingerprint, new key fingerprint.
+
+    Following that file is a real time saver for this step! :)
