Bug#420389: dists/etch/Release.gpg missing from DVD images

Hi

Is it still the case that one needs to manually add an (gpg checking)
exception for DVD images for upgrades from etch to lenny? If so, can
someone please provide a text (license: GPL v2) for inclusion in the
release notes?

Thanks already.

Yes, I think so. You need the APT option
  APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true";
Debian Installer adds this since Sarge in
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00trustcdrom IIRC.

Nevertheless there is no way I know to have this working also
with CD/DVD image files instead of using CD/DVDs registered with
apt-cdrom. And I also noticed during my last upgrade that unsigned
packages provided via loopback devices are ignored if another APT source
with signed packages (even from a very slow network mirror) are
available.

Does apt-cdrom take care of setting that option?
