Bug Description

The apt-key(8) manpage includes:

apt-key(8) will last be available in Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04.

It appears that apt-key was shipped in Ubuntu 22.10 by accident.
apt-key is still in the 2.5.5 apt packaged for Lunar:

I have adjusted the manual page in git to say 23.10 but this may be postponed to 24.04 once more.
