debian-volatile: Service Update

Hi,

In the past few weeks, there have been a lot of improvements to the
debian-volatile service. As a couple of them are infrastructural
changes, please read this mail, especialy if you plan to upgrade to
Etch.

New suite "Etch" added
----------------------
We finally had the time to add a suite for Etch to volatile. During
these changes, we also archived woody, and upgraded to a newer version
of the archive scripts. If you notice some small hiccups, please just
warn us (best by mail to debian-volatile <at> lists.debian.org) so that we
can fix them. The changes include a different archive signing key, and
separate keys per suite.

New archive signing key for debian-volatile
-------------------------------------------
If you run sarge, nothing changed for you. The key should be 

pub   1024D/276981F4 2004-12-24 [expires: 2008-01-06] 
uid                  Volatile woody/sarge Archive Key <katie <at> volatile.debian.net>
uid                  Volatile Archive Key 2005 <katie <at> volatile.debian.net>

If you run Etch, you should add the following key to your apt-keyring:

pub   1024D/BBE55AB3 2007-03-31 [expires: 2010-03-30]
uid                  Debian-Volatile Archive Automatic Signing Key (4.0/etch)
sub   2048g/36CA98F3 2007-03-31 [expires: 2010-03-30]
