Yes. Your public and private ssh keys should be in ~/.ssh
Your gpg keys should be in ~/.gnupg

As long as you copy these two folders to your new debian installation,
everything should be alright.

If you are using gnome, you might also want to copy seahorse keyrings
(in ./gnome2 last time I checked, but that might have changed).

To sum up, if you copy your whole user directory to a new installation,
everything should be right where you left them.
