iota, this step (file > export) exports your public key not your
private key.

in SeaHorse in Tails, you can export the public key as .asc and .pgp but
you can't export the private key as .pgp. SeaHorse in Tails is
preventing export as .pgp, either because of a bug or intentionally.
which one is it?
