The "pgp" extension is correct because it is about OpenPGP key
(certificate) anyway. Program "gpg" (GnuPG) is an implementation of
OpenPGP standard. In this case both file extensions work. Let's check
the files:
$ ls -l /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.*
lrwxrwxrwx [...] /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg ->
debian-archive-keyring.pgp
-rw-r--r-- [...] /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.pgp
That wasn't always the case. The filename extension changed recently
with trixie. So especially for an upgrade guidance like here, with
Debian bookworm at hand, the sane old default should be preferred.
I had the case where an upgrade has broken following the guidance
because there is no .pgp file while the .gpg file is present.
And btw. the standard is OpenPGP not pgp.
Ah, and btw: Please don't change things rashly because of emotions.
Maybe there's currently some controversies in the gpg vs. OpenPGP world
and some ppl tend to fight at places where they are mightful, but don't
let other users suffer from premature changes. There's nothing wrong
with having the .gpg extension in the upgrade guidance.
And please, please do not add an updated package to old bookwork just to
show us that .pgp is yet the one to get used here. That still will have
several drawbacks...
