The bitlength should be 4096 (https://wiki.debian.org/Keysigning).
I do not have any immediate idea. The Debian developer keys should be
distributed already with our users, so I guess they could verify
the package if I or Petter signs it. Also, I read about a repository
signed by multiple keys, but have not found any further respective
instructions - guess something like
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37725969/several-pgp-signatures-for-one-file
which if that works possibly maintains compatibility for ealier releases
of Debian.

There may not be a way around creating a new LinuxCNC repository key.
I suggest to sign that key with the old key and have it on various
keyservers and/or our website. With Petter and me signing that key,
I guess that key will then be trusted.

Best,
Steffen
