Package: debian-archive-keyring Version: 2006.11.22 Severity: wishlist It would be useful if the README file for debian-archive-keyring included a little more information on how the package is "supposed' to function and how one can "make use" of the keys it contains when that doesn't happen.
A few examples: * Archive/release keyrings are used by "apt" versions 0.6 and later; these versions of the "apt" package contain the the "apt-key" command. * Normally (i.e. if the apt-key binary is found), the keys contained in the debian-archive-keyring package will be automatically installed into apt's trusted keyring by the package's postinst script. * If the automatic installation of the keys fails, then the user can run "apt-key update" manually. It might also be worth mentioning the http://wiki.debian.org/SecureApt page. Thanks.
