How did that happen? I see it in debian/control, but aren't PPA uploads
automatically overridden to main? The source is in main - is this some
strangeness with the magic option to follow primary archive components?
But I don't see autokey in Debian or Ubuntu.

How is it legitimate? A build with a component not in its archive's
distribution doesn't make sense.
