The third-party repository story is clearly defined how it should work:

For providers:

For single package repositories, a single .deb should be provided that
contains the program, the key in trusted.gpg.d, and a sources.list.d
snippet.

For multi-package repositories, a .deb should be provided that contains
the sources.list.d snippet, and the key in trusted.gpg.d. This config
deb should be shipped in that archive, so the archive key can be
rotated. It could be named myrepo-config, for example.

The key shall have the same name as the sources.list.d snippet (e.g.
myrepo.gpg and myrepo.list)


For users:

Single package: User installs and is done

Multi-package: User installs config package, than uses apt update and
apt install to install the packages.
