Current distro versions now allow the GPG key to be stored as an
.asc
file, which simplifies installation.

Instructions for manual installation on Debian based distros were updated in our documentation through docker/docs@33befd6.It's common for users to install packages in a combination of the convenience script and manual (e.g. to update the packages after install, or vice-versa).
