Re: Bug#990521: I wonder whether bug #990521 "apt-secure points to apt-key which is deprecated" should get a higher severity

I'm a little confused - I thought deb822 was just a generic format used in various places throughout Debian, including in the Release files. Where specifically would the signed-by information be stored? In the Release file as you said below, or somewhere on the user's machine?

On top of that, you can embed Signed-By fields with
your key fingerprint in your repository's Release files, in order to
highlight if someone gets an updated index which is signed by a
different key than you previously indicated it should be. I think
anything as recent as Stretch should support all of this.

Thanks. Our primary target is Ubuntu - does Ubuntu 18.04 support this?
