Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt
I have in my ~/.bash_aliases:
alias ppagpg='sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.
Adding /usr/bin/ppakey to make it easier to import PPA keys would be nice. Example attached.

Thanks for following up on this. I had two other ideas about it since we
spoke:
1. Maybe it should be a part of apt-key, since it's just a trivial wrapper
around it
2. It would be great to fetch the appropriate key for a particular PPA from
Launchpad, rather than specifying the key ID, e.g.:
sudo apt-key add-ppa https:/ /edge.launchpad .net/~ubuntu- desktop/ +archive/ ppa
or perhaps even:
sudo add-ppa https:/ /edge.launchpad .net/~ubuntu- desktop/ +archive/ ppa
(which would also take care of the sources.list entries)
