I just wanted to give this bug a kick, because it's still an issue. I accidentally deactivated the wrong OpenPGP key, which resulted in an apparently-successful upload that then vanished into a black hole, from my point of view -- I received no e-mail notifications of either success or failure and no indications of problems from dput. The page for the PPA showed no hint of any upload. I banged my head against this problem for several hours, and it stumped a few people (Canonical employees) who I consulted (although in their defense, they didn't know I'd done anything with my keys recently). If I'm not mistaken, the e-mail address of the person who submitted the package is in the .changes file, so it should be possible to fire off an e-mail saying that the OpenPGP key didn't check out. This could save newbies, or fumble-fingered folks like myself, much head-banging.
