Uh, don't forget the part about verifying that the key is actually
signed by the ftpmasters.  Skipping that step pretty much defeats the
entire point.

  gpg --list-sigs A70DAF536070D3A1

Try gpg --check-sigs A70DAF536070D3A1 instead.

But Hendrik Sattler is perfectly right and this knowledge has to be stored
at prominant places like:

   a) installation manual
   b) apt-key.8
   c) perhaps somewhere else

Could maintainers of a) and b) (and perhaps c) ;-)) acknowledge, that this
will be done or should we rather file bug reports (IMHO with severity
"important") to these packages?

Kind regards

         Andreas.

PS: debian-boot@lists.debian.org in CC because of the installation manual
    issue.  Forgive me if this should be off-topic there.
