That needs to be done before using apt to download the package to
create the keyring which apt needs to be able to download the package
which contains the keyring. Who thought up this mess?
Oh, and all keyring packages must depend on apt which won't work
without a keyring package which cannot be installed until apt is
installed.
Has *nobody* thought this out??? WTF?!!!!!
