Public bug reported:
debian-keyring was promoted from a Suggests to a Recommends as a result
of a user report in bug 717245.
However, either behaviours of tools have changed since then, or there
was confusion between errors and warnings - if I use pull-debian-source
without having debian-keyring installed on raring, the only downside is
a couple of minor warning messages printed:
gpgv: Can't check signature: public key not found
dpkg-source: warning: failed to verify signature on
./squashfs-tools_4.2+20130409-1.dsc
but the package is unpacked successfully.
debian-keyring is a huge package (42MB .deb) compared to ubuntu-dev-tools (157K
.deb), so I'd suggest that it be demoted to a Suggests again, given the only
purpose is to enable an optional feature.
This is of course a somewhat a matter of opinion, so feel free to Won't Fix if
you don't agree.

Title:
debian-keyring is a rather heavyweight Recommends for ubuntu-dev-
tools, perhaps demote to Suggests?
