Rather than importing keys, I find it handy to set up gpg to find the
keys directly, so that if the debian-keyring package is updated, you
don't need to worry about importing the new keys ...

put:
keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg

and also this is you've enabled rsa and idea:
keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.pgp

in your ~/.gnupg/options
Makes it a bit easier ...
