@ Daniel No, they should not. Most of the time, debian-archive-keyring is not installed to access debian repositories directly, but to have access to /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg to validate repositories when debootstraping debian releases in schroots/containers/etc. For example, mk-sbuild uses /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg to validate chroots when creating build environments for the Debian releases.
The host system apt, should not be trusting debian repositories, as installing debian binaries on ubuntu may result in broken and incompatible sets of packages. (e.g. due to toolchain differences packages may effectively have incompatible ABIs). ** Changed in: debian-archive-keyring (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/838299 Title: Installing debian-archive-keyring does not activate the Debian keyring Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in debian-archive-keyring package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in ubuntu-keyring package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Installing the debian-archive-keyring package should add the appropriate keys to the apt keychain, but it does not. I have debugged this a while ago and if I remember correctly, it is caused by ubuntu-keyring interfering here. From what I can see /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ should be a good place to put both the Debian and Ubuntu keyrings.
