The disadvantage of /only/ adding notes in the text is that people are likely to refer to the debian.sources examples (they stand out on the page, and are framed on the webpage) without necessarily (re)reading the surrounding text. For the official sources, restoring the '.gpg' in the Release Notes, as below, will cause less confusion, though not for the unfortunates who downloaded copies during the last week. ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ Types: deb │ │ URIs: https://deb.debian.org/debian │ │ Suites: trixie trixie-updates │ │ Components: main non-free-firmware │ │ Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg │ │ │ │ Types: deb │ │ URIs: https://security.debian.org/debian-security │ │ Suites: trixie-security │ │ Components: main non-free-firmware │ │ Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ (That's for §4.3.1; I won't include the one for §4.3.2 here.)
