No, I withdraw my question. I forgot to acknowledge and thank everyone, including Mr. Noah Meyerhans, who coolly gave me a really deep reply which I could not comprehend at that time. Why would he need to check whether the key still worked? It was my job to see if it worked.
I tried with the clue: The keys are available in the debian-archive-keyring package... and found that they worked. I also understood Knoppix's method of writing sources.list and amended it to be fixed in time for an old distro. Thank, once again to all of you.
