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

[Benjamin Long]

I've just been bitten by this bug while upgrading our business
PXE/preseed installations from Xenial to Bionic. We use an internal
private repository for company specific packages. I'm unable to get the
apt key installed with the preseed, so nothing works.

I'm going to attempt the workaround mentioned above.

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.
