Issue:
a. Step 2 of Installation on Debian-based distributions returns a deprecation warning:

 wget -q https://wire-app.wire.com/linux/releases.key -O- | sudo apt-key add -

> Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8))

b. If the warning in step 2 is ignored, the user will see a similar warning when running step 4:

sudo apt-get update

> W: https://wire-app.wire.com/linux/debian/dists/stable/InRelease: Key is stored in legacy trusted gpg keyring (/etc/apt/trusted.gpg), see the DEPRECATION section in apt-key(8) for details


Suggested fix:

Updating steps 2 & 3 in the Installation on Debian-based distributions section, with the following:

  1. Import our PGP signing key to be able to verify the downloaded package

     sudo wget -q -O /usr/share/keyrings/wire-desktop.key https://wire-app.wire.com/linux/releases.key
    
  2. Add our repository address to your sources list

     echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/wire-desktop.key] https://wire-app.wire.com/linux/debian stable main" \
       | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wire-desktop.list
