Hi,


I didn't realize this DEB822.  Thanks.  I need to update debian-reference
package/web pages.

Use of deb822 s may be a very good approach only after Debian/12 Bookworm
release expected in late-2023 for the user of Debian stable platform. 
Considering Debian supports stable, oldstable, ... , we may need to wait at
least late-2025 to move to use this deb822 for all use cases.

As updated by a Debian developer on 2021-11-18 :

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/UseThirdParty?action=diff&rev2=46&rev1=45

we should avoid ASCII-armored files at this moment for some Debian platforms.

So updated suggestion should be:

For users of Debian 12/Bookworm testing distribution, deb822 approach works but
not for users of Debian 11/Bullseye stable distribution..

What I suggested which uses non-ASCII-armored file is more robust fall back
method but not as secure.

This is a wiki page both you and I can update.  At least, it is not written by
apt upstream as a restrictive rule.  So treat this as a nice reference but
don't consider it as a Debian policy.

Looks like it works.  So please update document page by clearly specifying
target audience by being specific distribution.
