Items 1-3 are already addressed with DD signatures on other individuals keys on public key servers. Item 4 can be addressed with public key servers too. I'm not against Debian having another key ring, I simply don't see a specific need for one, although Goswin did bring up some good points. -- Jamin W. Collins Linux is not The Answer.
