Updated Tarsnap experimental .deb packages



Hi Tarsnap users,

New versions of the Tarsnap .deb binary packages are now available for Debian,
Ubuntu, and similar Linux distributions for the amd64 and i386 architectures.
To support very old and very new distributions, the directory structure of our
repository has changed.

If you followed the old installation instructions,
  ** Please change the URL(s) in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tarsnap.list **

You can find installation instructions at
    https://pkg.tarsnap.com/experimental/
including the Tarsnap experimental debian signing key
    0x5CA7AAEF0C8DDADA

Assuming no problems show up in the next week, this will become an official
channel for getting tarsnap (documented on the main tarsnap website, and
with a signing key which doesn't have "EXPERIMENTAL" in its name).

In addition to having packages which can install on the full range of
supported Debian and Ubuntu releases, we've updated the
tarsnap-archive-keyring package to include new signing keys for 2017.
(Nothing is signed
using these keys yet -- the original experimental key doesn't expire until
the end of January, and we decided it would be easier for everybody if we
used that to sign this packaging attempt -- but we'll be using the 2017
keys in the future.)
