Your choice. But we serve GPG signatures and most Debian developers are
part of the strong set, so you should be able to find a trustpath to the
key there.

It's like the trust into Linux. It's mirrored everywhere and someone
trustable is bound to have a copy of the keyring to bootstrap. Yes, we
do not trust the SSL cartel and use Web of Trust.

Kind regards
