The linux signing templates already included the trusted_certs field.
I've just pushed the addition of the "packages" key and changed the
trusted certfificate, so these will be in the next upload.  files.json
now looks like this in linux-image-amd64-signed-template:

{
  "packages": {
    "linux-image-4.19.0-3-amd64-unsigned": {
      "trusted_certs": [
        "079646974bce09b1f04da67bd722d1fb0947ae4c4010bccdbba52d5b23cbf1a2"
      ],
      "files": [
        {
          "sig_type": "efi",
          "file": "boot/vmlinuz-4.19.0-3-amd64"
        },
        ...
      ]
    },
    ...
  }
}

The program is absolutely right; therefore, the computer must be wrong.
