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

Status in apt-setup package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apt-setup source package in Bionic:
  Fix Released
Status in apt-setup package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Adding key via apt-setup does not work

  [Test case]
  Add key via apt-setup, make sure it's installed correctly

  [Regression potential]
  If gnupg2 was installed before apt-setup is run, the code would work, and now behave differently installing keys into trusted.gpg.d instead of trusted.gpg.

  [Original bug report]
  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.
