Thanks for getting this into sid. There is another issue I'd like to
get fixed in wheezy, too, but that needs to be fixed in sid first: #687611

Right now we have after a fresh wheezy install of debian-edu-archive-keyring
(or similar keyrings, as well as on the upgrade paths including these keyring
packages):

0m34.4s INFO: Warning: Package purging left files on system:
  /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-squeeze-automatic.gpg~   not owned
  /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-squeeze-stable.gpg~      not owned
  /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-wheezy-automatic.gpg~    not owned
  /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-wheezy-stable.gpg~       not owned

The modification of /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-removed-keys.gpg
of course still happens, too.

I verified that a patched apt does the upgrades from squeeze without
and new problems and does fix these bugs.
By now the whole squeeze archive should have gotten an upgrade test with
this patch applied.
