Oh dear. Both stupid errors. I had noticed the typo and meant to cut that bit. I was suggesting that it was worth adding a line to the https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/#debian-stretch-stable page in that secure apt bit warning people that they'll need to install dirmngr.
I've now got a question that probably should be a new post but many thanks, both for the swift answer and all your work on the Debian repository.
