Clarification of Heiko's workaround:
- you need to set https_proxy 
- you may need to set it to "http://my-proxy-host"; not "https://my-proxy-host"; 
(which is what Ubuntu sets it to by default)
- beware that 'sudo add-apt-repository' might load a new shell and overwrite 
the environment; use 'sudo bash' then set 'https_proxy' in the root shell

add-apt-repository insists on downloading GPG key even if keyserver is down. If 
keyserver is down, add-apt-repository can't proceed.
