Suppose you would want to build from the vanilla source downloaded from
gnupg.org and signed by "Werner Koch (dist sig)", how would you verify
authenticity of that key?

I also just trust the Debian repo for my software. Unfortunately, the problem is
just transferred to the signature on the ISO I download to install Debian on a
new system. I do the same: download the sig from various places and compare the
issuer.
