1) If I added your repositories to Synaptic would that enable me to install via Synaptic?
2) If so, would I still need to add your public key to apt's trustdb? (I've never fully understood the relationship between atp & synaptic).
3) I currently have wxGTK 2.8.4 installed (which Synaptic shows as the latest version). From last time, I vaguely remember that when I updated wxGTK something else stopped working so I'd like to stick with 2.8.4 - unless 2.8.7 is absolutely necessary.

--- End quote ---
1) yes,
but
3) My packages depend on wxWidgets (wxGTK) >= 2.8.7 .
I have no problems using 2.8.7 on my system.

2)You can install packages without adding the public key, but synaptic will ask you if you really want that.
Synaptic is just a frontend/gui for the apt - suite.
