+What means "The following signatures couldn't be verified..."?
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+When you start using this repository, you probably get warning messages
+like this::
+
+ The following signatures couldn't be verified because
+ the public key is not available.
+
+Or you will be asked questions like this over and over::
+
+ WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
+ ...
+ Install these packages without verification [y/N]?
+
+This is because your APT installation initially does not know the GPG
+key that is used to sign the release files of this repository. It is easy to
+make APT happy again:
+
+1. Get the key. Either download the `repository key from here
+ <_static/neuro.debian.net.asc>`_
+ or fetch it from http://wwwkeys.pgp.net (2649A5A9).
+
+2. Now feed the key into APT by invoking::
+
+ apt-key add #file#
+
+ Where `#file#` has to be replaced with the location of the key file you just
+ downloaded. You need to have superuser-privileges to do this (either do it
+ as root or use sudo).

+After this initial setup you probably also want to configure your package
+manager to recognize the NeuroDebian archive key. With this key the package
+manager can verify that packages haven't been modified and are identical with
+the ones in the main NeuroDebian archive, regardless of which mirror you
+downloaded them from. The NeuroDebian key id is **2649A5A9**. If you need further
+help setting up package authentication, please take a look at
