[Malcolm Scott]

Any progress on this?  This is a serious regression for us which makes
preseed substantially less functional in bionic...

Title:
  apt-setup uses apt-key but probably should not anymore

Status in apt-setup package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in gnupg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in gnupg2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
