--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
I don't think we'll be changing this message. Any suggestion runs the
risk of being inaccurate, for example yours runs the risk of leading
people to assume that a different public key might work for a
destination that would never accept them.

The current message is succinct and accurate as to what has happened.
More detail is available via the verbose option if needed, but
fundamentally the client is not in a position to guess why.
