After running ‘add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa’ on Ubuntu 24.04, ‘apt update’ gives this warning:

W: https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/git-core/ppa/ubuntu/dists/noble/InRelease: Signature by key E1DD270288B4E6030699E45FA1715D88E1DF1F24 uses weak algorithm (rsa1024)

But this PPA is dual-signed by two keys, only one of which is weak. add-apt-repository has chosen to install the rsa1024 key in sources.list.d. It should choose the rsa4096 key instead.
