Bug#386800: apt should depend on debian-archive-keyring

[Alexander Schmehl <tolimar@debian.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.6.45
Severity: serious
Justification: vorlon told me, it would be serious ;)

Hi!

During dist-upgrades from Sarge to Etch, the debian-archive-keyring
package is not installed automatically (see recent discussion on
debian-release [1]).

This leaves the user with an Etch system, where apt tries to check the
release files signature, but is unable to do so, because neither gnupg
nor debian-archive-keyring (which would pull in gnupg) are installed.

So could you please Depend on debian-archive-keyring instead of
recommending it?  That would solve this upgrade issue.

Many thanks!
  Alexander
