> When I tried that I kept getting untrusted key warnings. You can skip them of course, but it kind of undermines any type of trust here
Yes, the expected procedure would be to trust those keys for that package instead of disabling integrity checks.
This is an issue between you and your package manager and not something Mullvad or any other packager (except theoretically OpenSUSE) can fix for you.
You complain about the packaging and support of mullvad maintainers when you are having skill issues with your distro.

I strongly suggest that you use something like Network Namespaces through Vopono[0] or Gluetun[1] if you use a commercial VPN for "privacy" or "security" aka torrenting and shitposting. Relying on these clients is always a gamble and if your software (Browser, Torrentclient, etc.) cannot know you public IP only the internal IP of the VPN you are also safe against some exploits and misconfigurations a desktop client won't protect you against.
