that's not the point.
the point is that zypper can, and will, fetch the appropriate key from within 
the repository. BUT for this to work it can only be ONE key, not more than 
one.
OBS (which from what i understand is the underlying build environment) does 
exatly that: it signs all packages with the same key.
So, if there are packages in packman that are signed with a different key, 
they HAVE to be from a different source... which might not be trustworthy.
After all, that's what signing packages is all about.
