Also if it takes the proxy settings from apt.conf it's not dependent of
environmental settings of the root account, it can use these proxy
settings to contact the ppa and use gpg with "--keyserver-options http-
proxy=value".

Title:
  add-apt-repository should look at apt.conf for proxy

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  At the moment add-apt-repository  doesn't work behind a proxy.

  The workaround in bug #516032 should not be necessary and is not a fix.
  add-apt-repository should just look at the proxy configuration in /etc/apt/apt.conf.
  https is necessary for checking the ppa and http for adding the key.
