Dropping keys in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d is supported already in Xenial,
however the DEPRECATION section in apt-key(8) says that:

  The binary OpenPGP format works for all apt versions,
  while the ASCII armored format works for apt version >= 1.4.

Xenial has apt 1.2.35 (xenial-updates), so we have to stick to the
binary format if we want to cover all the releases. This *should* work:

wget -qO-
"https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=FINGERPRINT"; |
gpg --dearmor > /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/fooppa.gpg

Title:
  augopkgtest-cloud worker script uses deprecated apt-key tool

Status in Auto Package Testing:
  New

Bug description:
  See:

  https://git.launchpad.net/autopkgtest-
  cloud/tree/charms/focal/autopkgtest-cloud-worker/autopkgtest-
  cloud/worker/worker?id=92bb0adb7a6d8c6237d7f7d5d1b792c2213f044c#n643

  From the apt-key(8) manpage:

    apt-key(8) will last be available in Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04.

  As of today the tool is still present in Kinetic, but we have to move
  away from it.
