I feared what you wrote, so it's a kind of second worst case scenario. We will
have some Devuan installations not getting updates any longer (1411
unattended-upgrades installed according to popcon and not all of these are
closely accompanied, I guess). At least Devuan should put a clearly visible
warning on the front page of https://devuan.org/ linked to a helping page, if
an automatic correction of the problem is impossible.

But, if I look at the list of installed keys, I see:
$ apt-key list
[...]

/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/devuan-keyring-2016-archive.gpg

This key does not expire and it seems installed on beowulf and chimaera. Can
we just also sign the index file and the devuan-keyring package with this key
for a while? Would this help to get the new devuan-keyring package and thus to
fix the issue automatically?
