The apt-secure manpage documents since the invention of this signature
verification feature how the gpg calls should look to generate the
Release.gpg – but the -a is argueably easy to miss.

Might be a good moment to look into using "heavier" tools doing all the
needed stuff instead of rolling your own and/or looking into InRelease
which has other marginal benefits as well.

See also #921685 for tracking proposes of me may or may not getting
around to actually implement a dedicated message for this… (bad me).
