It does, look at:

Both are signed by my master key which in turn is signed by a friend. My
scheme is having one "master key" and then I get people to sign that
master key, which I in turn use to sign my other ad-hoc keys.
To avoid further confusion, the key is signed by zeljko.vrba at gmail.com

Now I'm going to hide.. in fact, not. I tried finding someone while
writing the previous mail and.. well, I've succeeded.

I'm aware of that.

Actually, at one point in time I did think about getting myself a "real"
X.509 certificate and use it as "my own CA" certificate by which I sign
my other ad-hoce keys as I see fit. The thing I don't like about commercial
X.509 certificates is their short lifetime. It's a pure ripoff and no-work
money generator for the CA, after you get your 1st certificate.
I have yet to play a bit with gpgsm and see how well can you mix PGP and
X.509 keys. I.e. can I use my X.509 cert to sign other people OpenPGP keys?
Can I at least re-use the X.509 private key for my own OpenPGP key?
