I’ll try to fix that in 2.0, but note that Tails 1.8.1 has exactly the same problem.

So, Bug #10571 is back. Apparently application/pgp-keys is correctly associated, but *.key are now seen as Apple Keynote files by the MIME machinery (shared-mime-info). On sid, if I rename such a file to .asc, then it’s open with “Import a key”, as desired. Upgrading to shared-mime-info 1.5-2~bpo8+1 has no effect.

Adding application/x-iwork-keynote-sffkey=seahorse-pgp-keys.desktop to /etc/gnome/defaults.list and killing nautilus fixes the problem in a live Tails/Jessie. In the context of Tails, I guess we should rank keynote presentations lower compared to OpenPGP keys, so I’ll just do that.

The nicer way to get what we want would be to teach shared-mime-info to give less weight to the *.key glob, compared to actual file content. I’ll report a bug against shared-mime-info upstream. I’ve tried to do naively, and failed:
