Description

Sort of building on #55851 , so maybe you woud prefer to to broaden that original enhancement request as "Wider contents_pillar support throughout SaltStack" ? If its easy enough to refactor the codebase so that contents_pillar is available in any function where a fileserver salt:// can be used, I guess that would be the dream option !

Anyway, coming back to this specific request, looking at the docs, pkgrepo.managed has key_url and key_text but going by the docs neither have support for equivalent to contents_pillar.

Research direction

Start by reading the related discussion in #55851 and the pkgrepo.managed documentation for key_url and key_text. Clarify whether the goal is limited to contents_pillar support for those arguments or broader fileserver support throughout SaltStack. Done should be defined as an agreed scope with corresponding behavior and documentation.
