Title:
  key retrieval timeouts cause failures

Bug description:
  We have been seeing keyserver timeouts causing failed runs at an
  increased rate recently (over the last 6+ months). Here is an example
  failure:

  [10.244.40.32] sudo: add-apt-repository -k https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/ --yes "ppa:curtin-dev/proposed"
  [10.244.40.32] out: Error: retrieving gpg key timed out.

  One idea is that this needs to be addressed by making the client
  (software-properties) more robust.
