So, before trying the correct method (which is

my maching now refusing to boot from USB for no reason I can find), I

won't work:

Problem is the Debian pubkey, which does not exist on my machine. The
keyring stuff in the recipe does not, best I can tell, resemble current
reality. Of course, without it the whole apt-get business explodes in a
cloud of unsignedness.
Anybody know where I can get the Debian pubkey?

I don't know what you mean about not booting from USB; maybe you need to
change your bios settings to enable that. Or perhaps you refer to something
else?
In any case, on the other matter, about the public key for Debian (or any
other repositories): You can circumvent this obstacle like so:
sudo apt-get -o Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories=true update
Or, if installing, etc.,
sudo apt-get -o Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories=true install
The same goes for other apt-get commands. However ... as I am sure some here
will be quick to tell you, get the valid keyrings ASAP, as you don't want to
make a habit of doing this. It is just a temporary workaround.
I hope this helps.
