So, the  issue here was that if you updated the appstream branch, but
flatpak detected that nothing actually changed, then it avoided
creating an unnecessary commit. Of course, that means we didn't sign
the commit with the new gpg key.

The fix should be to sign the commit even if we kept the old commit,
and i wrote a patch for this:

https://github.com/alexlarsson/flatpak/commit/e37a412fb5d9f78c39910f9143e15fe3485c43f0

However, wit this the commitmeta keeps growing, because ostree for some
reason can't detect that commit is already signed by that key.

So, for now, if anyone runs into this issue, you'll have to manually
fix it...
