As long as it's a symlink, it will point to a world-readable file.
Due to oddnesses in apt-key it will let gpg move the symlink to
debian-archive-keyring.gpg~ and generate a new keyring at the old
location.  That one might or might not be world-readable.  But that
should really be fixed so that it's always readable.  (You might want
to mimick the logic in apt to ignore certain file extensions, though.)
