The solution seems to be apt-get install debian-archive-keyring. Would it
have been too hard to mention this ANYWHERE IN THE DOCUMENTATION AT ALL
rather than sending me grubbing through mailing list archives? For fuck's
sake! 

I mean, try searching the web for that package name. Is there even one
page about it? No.

Apparently debian-archive-keyring is now supposed to be a pre-req for apt:
http://lists.debian.org/deity/2006/01/msg00136.html

Well, it didn't fucking work like that for me, nor for the other hundreds or
thousands of other people who tried it and ended up having to ask mailing
lists or forums for help when presented with the error message. HATE.
