Re: Verifying authenticity of Debian CDs

And it turns out that /etc/apt/trusted.gpg has the buster-stable, the buster-automatic and the buster-security keys by default but _NOT_ the debian-cd signing key so the stage of importing the key to match the specific Debian CD signing key is still valid.

All best, as ever,

I'll have a go at importing from /etc/apt/trusted.gpg and see what that looks like. That, of course, is the keyring that apt and aptitude use for master verification of Debian packages as part of the verification process before package installation - so the master keys for the whole of the trust for package installation on a Debian system.

You should have the needed key(s) in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg, but to be
honest I don't know how to best pass those to GPG.
