But it works. I converted all my systems two weeks ago from putting
everything into /etc/apt/trusted.gpg via "apt-key add -" to single files
in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/, which allows me to handle the keys, addition
*and* removal, very easily via puppet.

Doing this with the one file is much more complicated, with the new
approach I just need to add or remove the GPG pubkey files to the
directory and everything works.

Sven.
