1. I am convinced apt/gpg is even useeful for pbuilder, support 
  should be added

2. 'How' is not quite decided, so pbuilder will ignore authentication 
  for the time being in 0.128, since it's completely broken right now.
  Maybe for 0.129, I'll try and figure out a way to get hooks.


line of thought:

To use Debian only, is the only thing required in the chroot, 
gnupg package? (since there seems to be already /etc/apt/trusted.gpg)

If so, then it would be trivial to add a hook somewhere to 
just install gnupg package.

Having hooks to add more trusted keys would probably be doable through
hook scripts in 'pbuilder update'; 
but I will need to investigate as to their timings.


That said, I'm quite ambivalent about adding support for 
authentication in pbuilder create since it's fetching 
apt.deb containing *-archive.gpg files and downloading files
in one go; but even then it will be a protection against 
compromise between later 'pbuilder update' runs.
