Unfortunately I don't know what that means for a way forward. Clearly 1024R keys should be retired. From one angle, I can imagine a scheme were a repo is dual-signed and signs the new key with the old to convince apt to update it but from another this seems impossible (and clearly very unlikely to land before noble GA).
