I guess leaving it serves as a sort of cross-check if gpg would return a
zero exit code but indicate in the status result that the signature was
not good. Sort of a belt-and-suspenders, I guess (which might not be
that implausible if we think about somebody wrapping gpg with a sloppy
bit of shell code that loses the exit code -- it's their fault, but it
might be nice for us to err on the conservative side).

OK, this time a real log message.

Thanks, the explanation and the patch look good to me.

I'm on the fence over whether a follow-up patch to take away the "U" is
worth it. In practice the code should never trigger either way, since
gpg would already have exited non-zero in such a case.
