Hi,

I am just wondering about a hypothetical situation where the master GPG key
used for signing the debian archive was stolen. After creating a new master
key and getting a new public key into the debian-keyring package, how would
you get that to users?

I mean if you resigned the release file after the attack happened with a
new master key that would mean nobody could apt-get the debian-keyring
package for the new public key.

I am wondering if I am missing something. Is there a process for this
possibility?

Thanks
