Thanks for the patience! :-)

I'm not that interested in the technical issues. I just don't
understand why we'd want users of the example project B to go through
extra steps when we don't require that of the users of project A.

That's a pure policy issue. All the debate about separate repositories
and gpg trust chains is just implementation details. I'm trying to
understand the need of such a discriminating policy in the first
place, not the mechanisms we could use to implement it.

If that's OK, i.e. that users of project B wouldn't need to go through
extra steps to get the incubating dependencies, then what's the point
of having a policy whose main purpose is to make those users go
through the extra steps?
