If you get this warning
W: There are no public key available for the following key IDs:
A70DAF536070D3A1
when you run "apt-get update" under Debian Etch (testing) then...

gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys A70DAF536070D3A1
gpg --armor --export A70DAF536070D3A1 | sudo apt-key add -
apt-get update
ie...
server:/# gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys

gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys A70DAF536070D3A1

Comments
apt-key update
not work? blindly importing keys somewhat defeats the whole purpose of having signed packages.
