This seems worth noting:

/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py

            # FIXME: this needs to go - elmo says the keyserver will not handle
            # the load

                ["apt-key", "adv", "--keyserver", "keyserver.ubuntu.com",
                 "--recv", signing_key_fingerprint[0]])
