Package: debian-archive-keyring
Version: 2017.5
Severity: normal

Hey there!

/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg

   and

/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-removed-keys.gpg

contain more than just OpenPGP certificates -- they also contain
"Trust packets", which are basically underspecified blobs that
different PGP implementations can treat differently.

some implementations even choke when they encounter them, for example:

    https://bitbucket.org/skskeyserver/sks-keyserver/issues/52

But whether other implementations handle them correctly or not,
there's no point in shipping them in the archive keyring.

You can filter them out (and sanitize the keyring) with:

    gpg --import-options import-export --import < crufty.gpg > clean.gpg

I recommend removing them from the shipped keyrings entirely.

Thanks for maintaining the archive keyring in debian,

        --dkg
