Lots of insanity around. ;-)

Meanwhile, you can probably do
	rpm --import SOME_GPG-KEY
in a package %post as a means of importing, and
I also suspect that a package named AAAAAAA*.rpm  with no
other dependencies has a fair to middling chance of being
installed before any other package , LC_COLLATE almost gud enuf.
