Minor Suggested Change To Installing Documentation #2094

Description

Since Ubuntu 20.04, on Ubuntu and anything derived from it, the use of apt-key has been deprecated. Officially, users should manage keyring files in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d instead. Although apt-key still technically works as of "Jammy" - with some comnplaints - there's no guarantee it will continue to do so as Debian claimed it would be given the Red Shirt treatment in April of 2022.

There is a work-around published on Ask Ubuntu, if anybody wants to know the long way around, but I think it would be easier (and faster) to follow in the footsteps of Wine HQ, as their documentation has been updated accordingly.

It's not super urgent, but it's probably better to address this before apt-key is removed from production entirely and you get a slew of tickets for it.
