I gave it a bit more thought and realized that putting the keys all in
one place defeats the purpose of PGP. If the server is compromised, an
attacker would just have to additionally replace the keys in the
homedirs besides replacing the signed release-tarballs with fraudulent
ones that were signed with his "fraudulent" key.

With best regards
