Feel free to propose a patch for the documentation, there is always room for
improvement.

I intend to have to have something like the mozilla team:

http://mozilla.debian.net/
with the key setup like in
https://sources.debian.net/src/pkg-mozilla-archive-keyring/1.1/

But to keep it even more simple (if possible), I would like to provide just one
package (per Deboan distribution and Tryton series), that the user must download
(address being provided by the selector), that depends on the
debian.tryton.org-archive-keyring package (with the archive key being signed
with a key on the debian keyring). 
But I still have to investigate the latter, if it is possible and if it is not
only a tolerated, but a well accepted procedure to make external repositories
known to a standard Debian system. The goal anyway is to provide the user with
the correct Tryton series by going as few steps as possible as well as to
confront him with as few trust problems as possible.
