ACK, but predicting how long it will take for the next two releases to
see the light of day is not exactly easy because Debian/Devuan release
when ready.

How about uploading a new devuan-keyring package to stable-updates and
unstable when the key's validity period has reached roughly 1/3 of its
initial value? So if you start with a key that's valid for the next 3
years, you would upload that new devuan-keyring package 2 years later.
This is completely independent of the release cycle and should work if
I'm not badly mistaken.

FTR, this idea is shamelessly stolen from the way cert-manager handles
TLS certificates in Kubernetes clusters by default, be it that uses 90
days for the certificate's validity period.
