apt-get update as well as attitude and synaptic.

W: There are no public key available for the following key IDs:

Debian changes the keys on a yearly basis for security reasons if I recall correctly.

Testing and Unstable have now a package called gui-apt-key that should make it easy to manage those digital keys for Debian package repositories.
