> I was wrong. I'm sorry about the noise. I've reverified the logic, and it correct. That is:
1) for trusted signature, only GOODSIG is emitted and 'G' is returned correctly,
2) for untrusted signature, GOODSIG is followed by TRUST_* messages, so line-wise TRUST_* check replaces the 'G' with 'U',
3) for bad signature, only BADSIG is emitted without TRUST_* messages.
Furthermore, GnuPG documentation confirms that TRUST_* is only emitted for good signatures [1].
