As far as I understand it's as simple as dropping the keys in there. 

When a key changes/expires/etc. replace it with the new one (if provided 
by the respective repository).

Indeed the documentation on this is a bit scarce, probably worth a 
mention in the Release Notes.

Dear APT maintainers,

The short version appears to be this note to the 'add' command from 
apt-key(8):

    Note: Instead of using this command a keyring should be placed 
    directly in the /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ directory with a descriptive 
    name and either "gpg" or "asc" as file extension.

where .gpg files are of type created with 'gpg --export' and .asc with
'gpg --armor --export'.


Your confirmation (or even better, proposes wording) would be much 
appreciated.

Kind regards,
Andrei
