[dput-ng-maint] Bug#714318: dcut: a way to set the default keyid would be nice

Package: dput-ng
Version: 1.4
Severity: wishlist

Like, I suspect, a lot of people, I have two keys with identical
key IDs, one of which is a 1024-bit RSA key that I no longer use.
Since I created it first, it's earlier in GnuPG's keyring, so key
selection by name and email address will generally always choose it.

Most Debian infrastructure commands have a way of persistently
configuring the actual key ID to use instead so that I can point
them at my newer key.  dcut takes the -k option, which works fine,
but there doesn't seem to be a way to persistently configure it with
either an environment variable or a configuration file.

I can just create a shell alias of dcut to dcut -k <keyid>, but it
would be nice if there were some place I could stick that in a
configuration file.
