check keyrings by default, when possible
* Recommend debian-archive-keyring, and if it is installed, default to checking gpg signatures of the Release file against it when bootstrapping sid, squeeze, wheezy, etch, and lenny. Closes: #560038 * Add --no-check-gpg option that can be used to disable release file verification. * Needs base-installer 1.117.
