[Bug 1754075] Re: apt-setup uses apt-key but probably should not anymore

[Lars Kollstedt]

In apt-setup-0.104ubuntu5/generators/60local there is an call

$chroot $ROOT apt-key add "/tmp/key$i.pub"

which would be the origin of this message.

Bug description:
  In di if the kernel is in a private PPA we seed di using

  d-i apt-setup/local0/key string
  http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=<key>

  this used to work in xenial, but in bionic this fails and therefore
  apt update fails in base-installer. May be because add-apt-key is not
  installed.
