---------------
ubuntu-keyring (2016.09.19) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * Ship each active key in a separate keyring in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
    as conffiles for simpler usage of apt-secure(8).
  * Remove all active keys from /etc/apt/trusted.gpg as they are shipped
    now as fragment files.
  * Depend on gpgv and only recommend gnupg.
  * Stop calling apt-key update LP: #1619444
  * Generate SHA512SUMS.txt.asc file, signed by me, and verified against
    debian-keyring at build time as a weak consistency check.
