Description:
Please consider to allow to keep the original creation date when updating key
signatures. This will also make ‘--faked-system-time’ option more meaningful.
For example, freezing system time to creation date and changing user ID
preferences via ‘setpref’ or set expiration time for a subkey using ‘expire’
will always add one second to the updated key signature creation time (if it not
fails).
Comment in update_keysig_packet (g10/sign.c:1585) says:
“[…] we won't make a timestamp earlier than the existing one”
but ‘original timestamp’ <= ‘frozen original timestamp’ != “earlier”.
