add TrustedParts so in the future new keyrings can just be dropped
into /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ which eliminates the need to have gpg installed to add keys to APTs trusted keyring (with apt-key) (Closes #304846) - Thanks to Timo Weingärtner & Peter Palfrader for providing different patchs/ideas for this!
