Package: dput-ng

The dcut command in dput-ng makes use of the debian-keyring package to
verify that modifications to DM access permissions are valid. This is
the wrong thing to do; the package is not actually what the
infrastructure is using and even if it was then you would be making the
tool only useful on sid.

As it is we do not reliably update the package every time we do a
keyring update, only concentrating on ensuring freshness around release
time. If you feel the need to fail hard if the key is not in the active
keyring then you should be rsyncing the active keyring from
keyring.debian.org. Otherwise I suggest the check is change to be purely
advisory.
