Probably because you use Sarge, and apt in Sarge doesn't check the GPG
signatures of the Release files. It only checks the md5sums of the
Package files (which are stored in the Release file). If you use Sarge
(without backported apt from somewhere else!), this problem shouldn'd
occur, because not only apt-key, but the whole GPG stuff is not
implemented in your apt. debmirror seems to be a different issue,
however. It looks like debmirror from Sarge /does/ check GPG
signatures, and you probably can solve the problem by importing the
matching keys using gpg.

David also didn't say /he/ had the problem. By the way, if you take a
closer look, you will see that the OP in the thread mentioned above
uses unstable.
