Public bug reported:

[Impact]

 * ftp.ports.debian.org changes keys every year, and updates debian-
ports-archive-keyring 2 years ahead of time.

 * Packages in bionic and focal do not have 2022's key, making the
packages unusable.

 * SRU falls under "Updates that need to be applied to Ubuntu packages
to adjust to changes in the environment, server protocols, web services,
and similar"

 * Package can be synced directly from Debian

[Test Plan]

sudo debootstrap --arch=riscv64 --force-check-gpg --foreign
--keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-ports-archive-keyring.gpg sid
/tmp/sid http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/

Expected:

I: Checking Release signature
I: Valid Release signature (key id CBC70A60B9ED6F237A5F5B0BE852514F5DF312F6)
I: Retrieving Packages 
I: Validating Packages 
I: Resolving dependencies of required packages...
I: Resolving dependencies of base packages...
[...]

Currently:

I: Checking Release signature
E: Release signed by unknown key (key id E852514F5DF312F6)
   The specified keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-ports-archive-keyring.gpg 
may be incorrect or out of date.
   You can find the latest Debian release key at 
https://ftp-master.debian.org/keys.html

[Where problems could occur]

 * Very old keys are removed from the keyring by subsequent package
updates. An existing program might be looking for old keys and start
failing, but this scenario is probably unlikely.
