I think anyone who knows how to be careful enough to ensure they've
followed the trust path correctly can either find the old debian-keyring
package from archive.debian.org, rsync the removed-keys.gpg file from
keyring.debian.org or checkout the bzr tree and get the key from there.

Marking wontfix; the removed-keys keyring is easily available to those
that need it and I don't think shipping it in the debian-keyring
package is helping most of the userbase.
