[Bug 1862764] Re: add-apt-repository should use signed-by

[Julian Andres Klode]

This has been fixed a couple of months ago for PPAs and I think other
shortcuts; they now use deb822 .sources files with Signed-By parameter.

Bug description:
  add-apt-repository should use signed-by

  apt sources.list syntax supports limiting which keys are used to sign
  a given repo.

  It would be nice for add-apt-repository to import the key somewhere
  else but trusted.gpg.d and then specify path to it, using the "signed-
  by" field.
