 https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en engages in a number of
 suboptimal practices.  In particular, it should not encourage users to use
 `apt-key add` with an OpenPGP certificate that is not expected to certify
 all repositories on the machine.

 See https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/UseThirdParty for reasonable
 guidance on setting up third party APT repositories.

 (at the very least: place the key someplace like
 `/usr/local/share/keyrings/tor-project-arhcive.gpg` and then use a
 `signed-by` directive in the apt repository configuration)
