Hmmm... I wish I understood GPG. FWIW, below is what I just got one of
my sid systems after running the wget/apt-key command above. Prior to
that I got a list of GPG errors, one for each mirror in
sources.list, so the european mirrors are all dealt with by the added
key. I don't know what the "Bizarre Error" is all about though!
(I've pruned out the detailed hits for brevity):
