I use aptitude and I'm sure I don't know all the ins and outs here. But I do 
have a suggestion for your consideration:



Stop signing the archives with the 2006 key for now. That will allow those who 
have been using the 2005 key to continue getting updates.



After you have your fixes in place -- and the users have updated their systems 
with those fixes -- then you can add the 2006 key back in for archive-signing 
purposes. Maybe you would wait until Feb 1 to start using the 2006 key, for the 
sake of those who don't update their systems daily. Again, I admittedly don't 
know all of the ramifications.



I hope that you will, as a part of your fixes, enable users' copies of 
apt/keyrings to automatically be updated to use the 2006 key based on trust of 
the 2005 key which they are already using. That would be good for those who 
don't know about http://ftp-master.debian.org/ziyi_key_2006.asc.



Thank you for considering these possibilities.
