        Parameters:
        key - local public key
        copy - copy of the public key (e.g. from a key server)
        joinTrustPackets - if true, trust packets from the copy are copied over into the resulting key
        allowSubkeySigsOnNonSubkey - if true, subkey signatures on the copy will be present in the merged key, even if key was not a subkey before.
        Returns:
        joined key
        Throws:
        PGPException
