The debian-multimedia-keyring is not restricted by patents or any other
licence issues. I understand why the other d-m packages are not in
debian, but the keyring (and just the keyring) should be in debian. It
will not affect anyone who does not include d-m in their sources.list,
and provides peace-of-mind for those who do, plus protection against MITM.
