The relevant section of the GPG manual says:
TRUST VALUES
Trust values are used to indicate ownertrust and validity of keys and
user IDs. They are displayed with letters or strings:
- unknown No ownertrust assigned / not yet calculated.
e expired
Trust calculation has failed; probably due to an expired key.
q undefined, undef Not enough information for calculation.
n never Never trust this key.
m marginal Marginally trusted.
f full Fully trusted.
u ultimate Ultimately trusted.
r revoked For validity only: the key or the user ID has been
revoked.
? err The program encountered an unknown trust value.
which is a bit too much for epa-insert-keys, I think. How about:
