Bug#401705: apt-key should be able to update from a different keyring file

[Guido Trotter <ultrotter@debian.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.2
Severity: wishlist

The apt-key update functionality is very useful but it might be nice if
the ARCHIVE_KEYRING and REMOVED_KEYS files wheren't hardcoded in the
script: it might be handy for other people/organizations at some point
to distribute different ARCHIVE_KEYRING and REMOVED_KEYS files and to
make apt-key update from those... Can those values just be the default,
with the possibility to override them on the command line or through the
environment?

Thanks!

Guido
