Hi,

In Synaptic package manager there's a setting window named
"Authentication keys" (Settings > Repositories > Authentication). I'd
like to know if it's possible to use that to install this gpg key and
how would one do it. The only way to install a key there seems to be by
using a normal file open dialog ("Choose a key file") which you
apparently can use to install a key that's already on your hard disk,
but not to download the key from a key server (it seems). 

Propably relatively large part of the inexperienced Ubuntu users do
download stuff from the marillat repository - multimedia codecs at least
I think. For this reason it would be good to have an easy way to install
this gpg key in Synaptic.
