As per apt-key manpage one can ship armored keys with .asc extension
since apt 1.4 (bionic and up). For prior releases, gpg1 exported
binary .gpg keys are supported. No need to install gnupg, run
gnupg-agent, or execute apt-key.

Though maybe more complicated than it needs to but why change a running system?
If we remember till then, this is something for doing better in core20

because installing and removing packages clobbers things.

It also shows lack of knowledge of apt snippets support which has been
around since xenial, and it means this will be copied over again
elsewhere.

This should not have been done like this in the first place, and is
poor engineering.

Speaking of core20, where are the unstable repos for all kernel snaps
building out of $devel series?

I do not see any repositories but bionic, hence targetted the only
place that appears to accept commits for linux-snap....

So far we do not.  Until very recently we have had nowhere to publish them
even if we wanted to.  In principle since the uc18 case was made to not
have separate store 'sections' and to use tracks instead it might well
be possible to grovel for more tracks to publish something like this to.
But we currently do not do so.
