Hallo Ansgar,

04.11.19 09:44 Ansgar:

Maybe apt could deprecate /etc/apt/trusted* and apt-key(8) in bullseye and
abandon them in bullseye+1. The whole concept of having one keyring that
authenticated all sources is wrong. I had my share in making /etc/apt/
trusted.d possible, but now that we have "Signed-By:" it is the inferior
solution and thus not needed anymore.

d-i should start to create sources.list with "Signed-By:" right now, #944102
[1].

apt or debian-archive-keyring could provide a migration script for
sources.list entries without "Signed-By:" which could — at least for
origin=Debian — add the correct "Signed-By:" option.


Grüße
Timo
