Package: apt
Version: 1.8.2.1
Severity: wishlist
Neither `apt-key --help` nor `man apt-key` mention the `verify` command.
Please also document if that API is stable - I guess so as
`warn_on_script_usage` is not called for its path.

The only stability we provide is that apt-key del ensures that the
given fingerprint is not present in trusted.gpg, if you run it from
a maintainer script of a package that depends on gnupg.
apt-key is deprecated. Especially `add -` - people should have stopped
using that ages ago.
The verify subcommand is for internal use only, and an implementation
detail that might disappear or diverge in behavior once apt stops
using apt-key for verification purposes.
