Thanks for your bugreport.

It would be nice if you could write a manpage (preferably in XML like
the other man pages). 

Here are some more infos that are available on the net:
http://wiki.debian.net/?apt06
http://www.syntaxpolice.org/apt-secure/
http://www.enyo.de/fw/software/apt-secure/

It looks like there is no complete up-to-date apt-secure documentation
yet so unifing this would be really really great. If I can help you in
any way understanding the implementation, please let me know.

Cheers,
 Michael
