(Get the code!)
of course. At said later date, you can just add a key to the keyring
and commit it.
The change that is in place currently relies on the host to provide
the keys, and quite simply no host will *ever* provide historical and
future keys in /etc/apt/
So yes, this change does add maintenance on the order of once per N
years (N=6?) that is in some cases provided "for free" by using the
content from ubuntu-keyring.
