No, they should not. Most of the time, debian-archive-keyring is not
installed to access debian repositories directly, but to have access to
/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg to validate repositories
when debootstraping debian releases in schroots/containers/etc. For
example, mk-sbuild uses /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg
to validate chroots when creating build environments for the Debian
releases.

The host system apt, should not be trusting debian repositories, as
installing debian binaries on ubuntu may result in broken and
incompatible sets of packages. (e.g. due to toolchain differences
packages may effectively have incompatible ABIs).
