With apt-key being deprecated and a transition to more secure (better) restriction of repository trust via "signed-by", we definitely need add-apt-repository to support this ASAP.

After Ubuntu 20.04 apt-key will no longer be present and well before the next LTS we need tooling/documentation to leverage the new recommended approach.
