But after copying, you still need to add the new key. You only save on the step of downloading the key file.

Will "sudo apt-get update" add it OK?
Edit:-
My question is really "How do I add the new key after I have copied it to the correct location?".

You copy the updated trusted keyring not the keyfile: antix-archive-keyring.asc.

The file antix-archive-keyring.asc holds the public-signing key. It is not a gpg-keyring (despite the name)
The keyring is here: /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/antix-archive-keyring.gpg
with apt-key add you add/update public-key(s) from antix-archive-keyring.asc
into trusted keyring file /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/antix-archive-keyring.gpg.

The just provided deb-file is doing exactly the same.
Replacing the trusted keying /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/antix-archive-keyring.gpg
with a newer on.
HTH

If you copy /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/antix-archive-keyring.gpg to all your boxes, run apt-get update and a new antix-archive-keyring deb will show up for installation.

Just copy, the newly updated keyring. Thats it. The updated keyring hold the mew public-signing key.
Or use the new deb-package which was just provided by aniti ( see updated first post )

Indeed, the new antix-archive-keyring deb will again replace the existing "copied" and already valid /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/antix-archive-keyring.gpg, with the "same" already copied version. So by this this file is now also owned/provided by this deb-package.
