To clarify, you can't tell from the hash, and you can't really add a
packet "I'm signing data here" vs. "I'm signing a key here". At least
that's what I got from the discussion on smart-cards, YMMV when it
comes to a full-blown gnupg install.

Of course, you could solve this problem by signing with a sub-key,
which isn't meant to certify other keys. I do wonder how e.g. PGP
would react on seeing a key certification from a sub-key.
