I ran into this issue today looking into making a debirf image based on
emdebian.  debirf passes the --keyring parameter to debootstrap where
possible.

understood, and my goal was not to combine emdebian packages with ubuntu
or debian packages in the same system.  the goal was to make sure that
debootstrap-style tools could find the appropriate keyring to build a
clean chroot securely.

Great, thanks, that should be fine.
