APT makes an educated guess for what the keyring could be but it's not a
100% certainty. It lower cases the Origin field in the Release file and
then uses /usr/share/keyrings/$lowerorigin-archive-keyring.gpg when
running modernize-sources.
I'm considering adding some quirks for "official" repositories (debian
backport has the same issue), but it's not going to be particularly
complete regardless.

Title:
apt modernize adds wrong keyring
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I created /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.list with content
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com questing main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com questing-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com questing-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
After running `apt modernize` I had a file
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.sources
Types: deb
URIs: http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/
Suites: questing
Components: main restricted universe multiverse
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg
Types: deb
URIs: http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/
Suites: questing-updates
Components: main restricted universe multiverse
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg
Types: deb
URIs: http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/
Suites: questing-proposed
Components: main restricted universe multiverse
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg
`apt-get update` fails with
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository
is not updated and the previous index files will be used. OpenPGP
signature verification failed: http://ddebs.ubuntu.com questing
InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the
public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY C8CAB6595FDFF622
`apt modernize` should have added the correct keyring and possibly
should have used a single entry:
Types: deb
URIs: http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/
Suites: questing questing-updates questing-proposed
Components: main restricted universe multiverse
Signed-by: /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-dbgsym-keyring.gpg
Please, associate http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/ with the correct keyring.
