Bug Description

On https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA the description of 'Your PPA's key' confused me.

When I activated the ppa I was waiting for the key because that page said
'After you've activated your PPA, it can take a couple of hours for Launchpad to generate your key.'

I'd assumed I'd need to sign the package with this key, and hence I waited for it.

However, the key is only generated after the package has been uploaded.

It's only minor, but it confused me.
