What tools are you talking about, specifically?
Mixing Emdebian packages with Debian or Ubuntu is not a good idea,
generally. Only Emdebian Grip has this kind of support. Emdebian Crush
and Emdebian Grip use the same keyring - the only way to tell the
difference is via dpkg --vendor queries.

Various parts of emdebian-rootfs need the keyring to be
in /usr/share/emdebian-tools/ but I'll ship a symlink
for /usr/share/keyrings/
(The udeb puts the keyring in /usr/share/keyrings already).
