[Bug 1624378] [NEW] apt-key net-update should use trusted.gpg.d/

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Public bug reported:

apt-key net-update for the new world order

/etc/apt/trusted.gpg is not longer preffered location for key updates.

Instead, individual opengpg packets of exported public keys should be
placed in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d

Debian has already migrated to placing the keys there.

To comply with /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d structure, instead of updating the
keys in the /etc/apt/trusted.gpg, imho apt-key net-update should
download and place a /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ubuntu-archive-netupdate.gpg
key.
