No problem, we take our time, too. (In a parallel universe in which your
reply doesn't exist, I would have pinged the bug with some musings about
how everything would be easier if we removed apt from testing… Not that
this would be particularity helpful, but at least an entertaining
thought in this cold long winter nights… ;) )

Done. Note that I applied #767774 before #765687, which is boring by
itself, but effects the very same code, so the backport of #765687 would
actually include the two-line #767774 as well anyway, so better be
explicit about it…

I took also the liberty to apply the one-line #754436 fix as its the
only thing related to apt-key with a reasonable severity/change ratio.
Nobody I know of is using fingerprints (for now) and bugs like the 40
keyrings limit from gnupg is annoying, but the amount of (Debian) users
effected by it is limited to a point that I don't want to annoy you with
>400 line changes (beside that I haven't the time for it either).

I presume Guillem would be unhappy to carry the workaround to stretch
(and we will have to make sure to not forget about it as this path will
be mostly untested up until jessie->stretch upgrades are tested),
but your call. I haven't given the dpkg change a closer look yet though
so it might be nicer/works better than I expect it to be…



For everyone following along looking for a diff, the final diff of
1.0.9.3 -> 1.0.9.4 is probably best viewed in chunks via git, e.g.:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/apt/apt.git/log/


Thanks & best regards
