Quoting from Message-ID: <[🔎] 20060202165807.GA1204@schmehl.info>:

Take a look at "man debmirror", it's listed in the files-section.

In the manpage of debmirror you can find everything you need to know:

=====
FILES
         ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg

           Debmirror uses gpg to verify Release and Release.gpg using the
           default keying ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg. This can be changed by
           exporting GNUPGHOME resulting in $GNUPGHOME/pubring.gpg being used.

           To add the right key to this keyring you can import it from the
           debian keyring (in case of the debian archive) using:

             gpg --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-role-keys.gpg --export \
                 "Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (2005)" | gpg --import

           or download the key from a keyserver:

             gpg --keyserver keyring.debian.org --recv-keys <key ID>

           <key ID> for debian and 2005 is 4F368D5D and can be found in the
           gpg error message from debmirror -v output.
=====

Note that this manpage mentions a "Debian [..] Key (2005)", after taking
a look at your calendar, you might want to get the 2006 key, too.


Yours sincerely,
  Alexander
