This from the man page:
--keyring file
Add file to the list of keyrings. If file begins with a tilde
and a slash, these are replaced by the HOME directory. If the
filename does not contain a slash, it is assumed to be in the
home-directory ("~/.gnupg" if --homedir is not used). The
filename may be prefixed with a scheme:
"gnupg-ring:" is the default one.
"gnupg-gdbm:" may be used for a GDBM ring. Note that GDBM is
experimental and likely to be removed in future versions.
It might make sense to use it together with
--no-default-keyring.
I think you may want to try the "gnupg-ring:" prefix. I'm going to do
so now, as I did not know that the debian keyring was available on my
system :-)
