[Bug 1862764] Re: add-apt-repository should use signed-by

[Julian Andres Klode]

My goal would be to switch to deb822 sources for this with the key
embedded in the .sources file.

We're still missing the ability to edit those files graphically however,
that needs to be implemented first.

Bug description:
  add-apt-repository should use signed-by

  apt sources.list syntax supports limiting which keys are used to sign
  a given repo.

  It would be nice for add-apt-repository to import the key somewhere
  else but trusted.gpg.d and then specify path to it, using the "signed-
  by" field.
