In my case the following (pasting together a couple of shell
histories...) seemed to do the trick:

    apt-get install debian-keyring 
    gpg --import /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg 
    gpg --armor --export  010908312D230C5F 07DC563D1F41B907 07DC563D1F41B907 |
        apt-key add -

... modulo values of keys (those were the ones aptitude was bitching
about).

Any harm in exporting root's GPG keys into apt-key?  I currently only
have four (Debian's autosign keys + a third-party archive) present.

Glad to see it's finally happening, nonetheless, and appreciate your
hints as always.


Peace.
