Supporting Raspbian hosts: add keyring environment variable

If I try to build minideb on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Raspbian installed, I get the following error:

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/dietpi/minideb'
./mkimage /home/dietpi/minideb/build/buster.tar buster
cp: cannot stat '/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg': No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:28: buster] Error 1

To fix it, I had to tweak mkimage. Here are the changes I had to make: https://ybin.me/p/1249eb31d3d4fcd9#NFUFW1QRI59T/ojae73HMaq3wtfv9nIaTfmXcpO5LZg=

In order to allow for seamless building on Raspbian hosts, I propose either the following solutions:

  1. Add an environment variable for specifying the keyring to copy
  2. Auto-detect the host distribution with something like lsb_release -i and if Raspbian is detected, then alter the keyring path.

Minideb now supports ARM builds, you can find them at https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/minideb

Thanks! Does it work if I build it locally myself though on a raspberry pi?
