Exactly this is how I came to trust e.g. the rpm signing keys in the
first place: there was no other basis but to trust the master keys in a
"no news is good news" situation where everybody trusted them and no
problems arose. Now there is news - seemingly bad news - and there are
problems. Trust is easily lost but hard to restore. Debian folks can
tell you...
