Secure APT Key Management. Andreas Barth [8]summarised the
[9]discussion about key management for APT from July. The general
idea is to have an offline key for signing stable releases per release
and a yearly rotating key for unstable. Stable release keys will be
revoked by stable+2, so that updates between stable releases still
work with the old key.
