I think we reached somewhat of an agreement that net-update is a bad
idea and should not be done. It also depends on gnupg.

We should eventually consider developing something else, but I'm not
sure how that would look like. Currently, there is no way to revoke keys
except through packages, basically, which is a security issue. We need
to provide signed keyfiles on different locations that apt can download
so an attacker cannot use a broken key and MITM exisiting repositories
forever.
