Thank you for your report. Yes, the signature is old, because Packages
files and such for stable are only generated upon some release. So on
the next point release, which shouldn't take too long anymore, the 2006
key will be used.

This is something that also should be thought about for etch, because
with the new apt, this will cause issues for people installing/upgrading
-- to the point that it would most likely simply break netinstalls and
such. So this situation may not repeat itself in etch.

Anyway, for people who already installed stable, nothing changed, and
the trust in the archive doesn't suddenly decrease just because there
was not a re-assurance that yes, the very same release is still genuine.
This doesn't mean that this shouldn't be fixed of course.
