the latest version of apt in unstable now has built-in support for
gpg verification of packages, which is really a Good Thing, as i'm
sure you know.  

basically, apt is notices that it knows nothing about the pubkey in
question, so it's whining a bit.  my guess is that this is because
the Release.gpg on secure-testing.d.o uses a different key than the
main archives.  apt-key(8) is what you'll want to use to import this
key into apt's trusted keyring.
