As far as I understand it's as simple as dropping the keys in there.
When a key changes/expires/etc. replace it with the new one (if provided
by the respective repository).

Indeed the documentation on this is a bit scarce, probably worth a
mention in the Release Notes.
Dear APT maintainers,
The short version appears to be this note to the 'add' command from
apt-key(8):
Note: Instead of using this command a keyring should be placed
directly in the /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ directory with a descriptive
name and either "gpg" or "asc" as file extension.
where .gpg files are of type created with 'gpg --export' and .asc with
'gpg --armor --export'.
Your confirmation (or even better, proposes wording) would be much
appreciated.
Kind regards,
Andrei
