Thanks,

Two questions:

1) How do I import the public key for volatile?  (If it's in the fine  
manual, then please point me to it so I can RTFM)

2) What's the reasoning behind not including it in the default debian- 
archive-keyring package?  Is it not recommended that everyone use  
volatile for the things like security and spam updates that it provides?

Enjoy!
