Since we publish a few thousand images it doesn't make sense to put the
hashes themselves in the wikipages. What we need is the various GPG keys
that we use published somewhere. I've asked the website team to make
this list available but it's obviously a very low priority for the team.

In the meantime I've added a new FAQ section to the Ubuntu security team wiki:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#GPG_Keys_used_by_Ubuntu
This isn't ideal since it's available for all to change but at least a handful 
of people receive email when it is changed, and it's otherwise completely 
impossible to discover this information.

One positive of putting it in the wiki is that others _can_ add to it --
I know these handful of keys need to be published but there are probably
more keys that deserve to be publicly published and when people discover
them, they can be added here too.

Thanks.

** Package changed: add-apt-key (Ubuntu) => ubuntu-website-content
