If you use
      --archive-dir path
              When  backing up or restoring, specify the local archive 
directory.  This option is not necessary, but if hash data is found
              locally in path it will be used in preference to the remote hash 
data. Use of this option does not imply  that  the  archive
              data  is  no  longer  stored  in  the  backup destination, nor 
that the local archive directory need be kept safe. The local
              archive directory is a performance optimization only, and may 
safely be discarded at any time.

This is neatly solved and allows for unattended public key backups. It's 
potentially a lot faster to boot because you do not need to download the 
signatures at the beginning.
