What is packet type 14?  You seem hung up on the idea that it is a
signature packet.  It's not!  Look at section 4.3:

Yes, after a good nights sleep and some help from Patrick I was able to
figure it out.

Part of my mental block was I *knew* that there should have been a sig
packet following the userID packet.

As far as the striping of the signatures:

I did a pgpk -x [keyID] -o [outfile]

The signature packets should have been retained in the extracted key in
the outfile but for some reason they were striped.

I have not been able to isolate the exact triger for this happening as I
have latter done the same operation and had the sig packets retained.

IMHO I can not see any reason for a sig packet to be removed from a key
unless they are flaged as non-exportable or the user explicitly removes
them.

This seems to be some type of bug in the 5.0i code as I have had other
problems with the pgpk code from this build (b8a).

BTW any ideal what setting a key as "axiomatic" does??
