Bug#1116274: Consider retiring Release.gpg

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected]

InRelease support dates back to 2011. While it is true that apt is still 
falling back to Release.gpg, I think it's time to retire the file. As I 
am working on more signature transparency it also means less signatures 
to care about.

This is to kickstart the conversation. I am happy to provide stats from 
sampled Fastly logs if needed. I am also not sure if there are any tools 
that require Release.gpg, but also any failure of fetching InRelease 
would cause a fallback fetch. And I think it is about time that these 
tools migrate.

Kind regards and thanks
