Not directly afaik. If you say "Archive Signing Key (Date <= 2006-05-01)" apt could parse that from gpgv's output and perform the check itself, or add a "The key used to sign these packages expired on 2006-05-01; if you obtained this media after that date, you may have a problem. Continue (y/n): " warning. I'm not sure off-hand what gpgv outputs in the case of an expired key; it might be feasible to do the above already. Cheers, aj
