Install the debian-keyring package (if you haven't already), and add the
following line to ~/.gnupg/options:

keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg

Make sure it comes _before_ ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg, since gpg will try to add new
keys to the last keyring listed.  You can use the Debian keyserver (which is
usually more up-to-date than the package) with this line:

keyserver keyring.debian.org

 - mdz
