Setting the trust level on the key won't make the "key is not
certified with a trusted signature!" warning go away though.

The only way for the key to be treated as valid (which makes the
warning go away) is for a trusted key (or keys) to sign it.  This
means you could sign the key yourself (preferably with a local
signature rather than an exportable signature) or find enough other
signatures on the key made by people you trust.
