QET should also appear in its menus, and .qet and .elmt files should open by default in QElectroTech.

sudo apt-key export 1D4FB6C1 | sudo gpg --dearmour -o /usr/share/keyrings/qelectrotech.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/qelectrotech.gpg] https://debian.qelectrotech.org/qet/builds/debian/ unstable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qelectrotech.list

Now remove in /etc/apt/sources.list :

 deb https://debian.qelectrotech.org/qet/builds/debian/ unstable main

And old key:

 sudo apt-key del 1D4FB6C1
