Bug Description

Binary package hint: synaptic

This is not a bug, but a suggestion. Not really sure where things like this should be posted.

In Synaptic - In addition to "Import key from file" add "Download key from URL."

That way I can just cut/paste this into Synaptic's "Software Sources" GUI

deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt feisty main
http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg

This would make https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine "install newer version" and such not need any shell commands.

I would also like to suggest that besides just pasting a URL, a paste of the whole key into a text box would be a nice feature.
