Ok, so what you seem to be suggesting is that I would have had to 
manually accept those keys at some early stage before smart did any 
upgrading from these sources and now the upgrades are done without me 
being questioned about the gpgs?

At the same time, are these same keys used by all the mirrors which are 
listed in smart's list of mirrors used for upgrading?

Cheers.
