I think then the problem becomes that every existing installation points
to os/ where it would need os.oldkey/ to get the packages it can check
gpg keys on.
But isn't this desired behaviour? We don't actually want os.oldkey/ to
be used anymore (mid-term) as we need to revoce the key in case it has
been stolen. Maybe we don't need os.*key at all.
E.g. if a key has been stolen, burn all signed stuff and recreate them
with a new key.
