The keyring in stable is almost never updated, while the keys that are
used by developers to sign packages are often updated in the time
between the freezing of stable and now.
You can either download the newest version of the keyring, or you can
use keyring.debian.org.

Given that the odds of a miracle are one in one million, and events
which could be a miracle happen every second, the odds of not seeing a
miracle in a month are less than 8 in 100. Clearly miracles are not
all that miraculous.
