I don't really know. I mean, I'd love to, as I'm probably going to kill use of apt-key in apt entirely. It also does not work on Debian without installing gnupg first (which is installed in Ubuntu IIRC)

A best practice, though I'm considering the possibility of automatically restricting a foo.list to use a foo.gpg key if the foo.gpg key exists.
