    Is that right? I see this other copy of default.conf which has a
    different POPCONKEY even though it's still sending to the Debian
    popcon server: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deepin-community/popularity-contest/master/default.conf

    Neither POPCONKEY worked. You can find the "user id" to use for
    POPCONKEY in the keyring file using this command:

    # gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /usr/share/popularity-contest/debian-popcon.gpg --list-keys
    /usr/share/popularity-contest/debian-popcon.gpg -----------------------------------------------
    pub rsa4096 2013-05-10 [SC]
    47D3788CE6BBB5B1ABF7F51F6672B9765BDF38A3
    uid [ unknown] Debian popularity contest server (submission key) <survey@popcon.debian.org>
    sub rsa4096 2013-05-10 [E]

    So now I've got:
    POPCONKEY="$POPCONKEY -r 47D3788CE6BBB5B1ABF7F51F6672B9765BDF38A3"

    Test run with "sh /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest --crond" seems
    to work now, sending to both popcon servers.
