Eeek.

"It is strongly recommended that all cryptographic key material which
has been generated by OpenSSL versions starting with 0.9.8c-1 on
Debian systems is recreated from scratch. Furthermore, all DSA keys
ever used on affected Debian systems for signing or authentication
purposes should be considered compromised"

That's a whole lot of extra work I could have done without. Ho hum.
Time to start regenerating those keys...
