This could be solved by having a mapping between encryption keys and
URLs. A mechanism that would allow derivatives to just drop some
files/dirs into their base-files package would probably be the
easiest.

Also you could just have popcon in DebianEdu submit only to the Debian
popcon site, IIRC DebianEdu sets the dpkg vendor field to something
other than Debian?
