I agree some keys should be included (so@, portmgr-secretary@,
core-secretary@).  IMHO, printing all keys is wasteful.  Also, there is
the problem of expired keys.

For the "trust" issue, one can always build the pgp keys on a trusted
system from the doc/ repository, and use that as the keyring import.
