Unfortunately, I've since entered the correct key, so that file just contains the real key now (world-readable!). I don't know what got put there by AptDaemon. Though I will note that when DEFCON came up, it had a few characters of garbage unicode at the front of the key, so presumably the contents of that file were junk.
