    You need to use the security update site for testing. The recent announcement
    here included the following lines:

       We also invite you to add the following lines to your
       /etc/apt/sources.list file, and run "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade"
       to make the security updates available.

       deb http://secure-testing.debian.net/debian-secure-testing etch/security-updates main contrib non-free
       deb-src http://secure-testing.debian.net/debian-secure-testing etch/security-updates main contrib non-free

    It's possible that your GPG verification problem is related to your
    attempt to use packages from stable, where it's not supported.
