Hi,

Now that we have deb822 format for specifying APT repo which includes
everything within one file, the user should be discouraged from using
old styles where the GPG key is stored in a "keyring" (whether it be a
trusted keyring or just a folder in another place with that name).

Far too many places mention the legacy and old styles. That includes
software docs which are maintained.

One cannot possibly open issues and convince in every repo, provided if
the software or doc-cycle are open in the first place.

A big red warning (and not error / failure) will bring a much needed
kinetic force for the change IMO, on the same lines as the warning when
using the old apt-keys stuff.

Hence, I request for making deb822 the default format and deprecating
the previous .list method with a noisy warning.

Thanks,
Siddh
