WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
  foo bar baz
Install these packages without verification [y/N]?

I noticed today that google doesn’t turn up good hits for the fix. The fix is really simple:

apt-get install debian-archive-keyring
apt-get update

That’s it. You now have secure packages from Debian. Nice, eh?
