In https://support.1password.com/install-linux/ ,  1Password suggests to install 1Password's apt key in `/usr/share/keyrings/`. However, in Ubuntu, `/usr/share/keyrings/` is considered as a location for system-managed and package-system-managed apt keys.

For this kind of manual installation, `/etc/apt/keyrings/` should be recommended, IIUC. What do you think about updating the document?

Same for `/usr/share/debsig/keyrings/`. Should it be `/etc/debsig/keyrings/` ?

Better yet, 1Password really should stop using the legacy format and use the deb822 format `1password.sources`. One advantage is that the key can be included directly in the Signed-By field.

See sources.list(5).
