Comment(by gnu):

 Replying to [comment:10 cscott]:
 > The "automatic installation from web browser problem" is out of my
 court: stuff downloaded from the browser ends up in the journal and the
 journal needs to grow some special knowledge of dev keys and put them in
 the right place.  Please file a separate bug for that, and assign it to
 the journal guys.

 Well, actually, developer keys do not end up in the journal.  The page
 that comes back from activation.laptop.org doesn't include a link to the
 developer key, so the user can't download the key using the browser.  (The
 page includes a command line which you are encouraged to write down and
 then type to a root shell.)

 So, the page that tells you about your devkey should also include a link
 to the develop.sig file itself.  Then, the Journal developers will be able
 to test their changes.
