Yes, sorry for missing that part out in my reply. I needed to follow
the instructions to upgrade the GPG keys on the host side.

Probably not.

However, as has been subsequently pointed out, the workaround
(removing /var/lib/sbuild/apt-keys) doesn't work with a jessie sbuild:

E: Local archive GPG signing key not found
I: Please generate a key with 'sbuild-update --keygen'
I: Note that on machines with scarce entropy, you may wish to generate the key with this command on another machine and copy the public and private keypair to '/var/lib/sbuild/apt-keys/sbuild-key.pub' and '/var/lib/sbuild/apt-keys/sbuild-key.sec'
Failed to generate archive keys.

so it appears that we do need an update for jessie one way or another?

Cheers,
Dominic.
