Public bug reported:
The package that Ubuntu calls "ubuntu-keyring" is present in Debian as
"ubuntu-archive-keyring".
Debian has separate "debian-keyring" and "debian-archive-keyring"
packages, described as follows:
d-k: GnuPG keys of Debian Developers and Maintainers
d-a-k: GnuPG archive keys of the Debian archive
IMO this is a reasonable distinction, as the keys of
developers/maintainers are rarely needed by end users, and the d-k
package is significantly larger (on the order of 30 MB).
Thus, the current "ubuntu-keyring" package would be better named
"ubuntu-archive-keyring", not only so that the equivalent package has
the same name in both distros, but also to maintain the same distinction
between developer keys and archive keys. (Ubuntu could potentially
decide to ship a package containing Ubuntu developer keys in the future,
and it would be awkward if this needed to be named e.g. "ubuntu-devel-
keyring" or the like.)
