I get a fair amount of such crap via apt-cacher. So I run a fairly
rigorous clean out of it daily...
However I'm not sure this is your problem.
Sometimes some deep magic happens with the key signing and running
apt-get update
twice gets rid of it.
Sometimes it seems to need to stew a day, before doing that fixes
it. Maybe somebody updated the upstream repository whilst the mirror
was doing it's thing, resulting in the mirroring system taking an
inconsistent snapshot of the upstream repository.
I remember once shifting my upstream repository to the ubuntu main
site, doing apt-get update twice and off I went.
I don't think it nz.archive.ubuntu.com that doing this to you, I think
its upstream of them.
