I already have 2005 and 2006 keys installed.  I installed
debian-archive-keyring, but neither the error nor the output of
apt-key list changes.  The relevant entries from the latter are
# apt-key list
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg

I had a feeling the secure repository might have separate keys, but I
can't see any sign this is the case on the security wiki or
http://security.debian.org.

I'm not sure if the identifying string in the error messages should
match one of the ones above.  The warning refers to F1D53D8C4F368D5D,
which isn't even the same number of digits as shown above.  Further,
it concerns the 2005 key, which I have and which is valid for a few
more days.

I'm running apt 0.6.43.1 on a mixed testing/unstable system.
I remember I ran into a key that was bad on one of the machines that
responds to debian.org requests; maybe this is similar?  Or perhaps
some glitch introduced by apt-cacher?
