i'd consider a gpg signed repository with no available pubkey a very
serious security concern ... why dont you just use the right tools
(apt-key add) to add the right keys and make the whole thing half way
trustable ... ?
(the PLF repo is signed and has a pubkey as well as christian marillat
has one he uses to sign his repos which is public available on the
keyservers...)
stating your script is safe over and over doesnt make it safer,
especially after such a paragraph like the above one ...
ciao
