The idea is that fedora-release contains the new key and the new
repository location.  So it has to go in the old repository, signed with
the old key so people hitting the old repository get those.

Maybe we should have two new fedora-release packages.  The lower NEVR
one can go in the OLD repo and the newer one in the new repo.  (That way
we end up with 0 packages signed by the old key on the new system).
