This should be fixed now, PPAs are signed with 4096 bit keys, existing
1024 ones have been dual signed now and the end point gives you 4096 bit
keys if you add them.

Title:
1024-bit signing keys should be deprecated
Status in Launchpad itself:
Fix Released
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in gnupg2 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
1024-bit RSA was deprecated years ago by NIST[1], Microsoft[2] and
more recently by others[3].
1024-bit signing keys are insufficient to guarantee the authenticity
of software distributed from Launchpad.net including PPAs. There
should be a mechanism to refuse signing keys below a minimum key
length based on key type. 1024-bit signing keys should be deprecated
and removed from Launchpad.net itself ASAP. Future projects and PPAs
should be disallowed from using 1024-bit signing keys.
