We were down to at most two keyrings before, but gnupg upstream plans
dropping support for multiple keyrings in the longrun, so with a
single keyring we hope to be future proof – and 'apt-key adv' isn't a
problem anymore as every change to the keys is merged back, so we have
now the same behavior as before, but support an unlimited amount of
trusted.gpg.d keyrings.

For some advanced usecases it might be handy to specify the secret
keyring to be used (e.g. as it is used in the testcases), but specifying
it via a normal option for gnupg might not be available forever:

If both are available APT will still prefer gpg over gpg2 as it is a bit
more lightweight, but it shouldn't be a problem to use one or the other
(at least at the moment, who knows what will happen in the future).
|

'apt-key help' and incorrect usage do not need a functioning gnupg
setup, as well as we shouldn't try to setup gnupg before we actually
test if it is available (and print a message if it is not).

gnupg has a hardlimit of 40 (at the moment) keyrings per invocation,
which can be exceeded with (many) repositories. That is rather
misfortune as the longrun goal was to drop gnupg dependency at some
point in the future, but this can now be considered missed and dropped.
It also means that 'apt-key adv' commands might not have the behaviour
one would expect it to have as it mainly operates on a big temporary
keyring, so commands modifying keys will break. Doing this was never a
good idea anyway through, so lets just hope nothing break too badly.

Avoids that gpg gets the idea it could use files from the user which
weren't overridden specifically like secret keyring and trustdb as
before.

The apt-key script uses quiet a few keyring files for operation which
are specific to the distribution it is build on and is hence one of the
most patched parts – even if it is not that often used anymore now that
a fragment directory for trusted.gpg exists.
