/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py

            # FIXME: this needs to go - elmo says the keyserver will not handle
            #        the load
            res = subprocess.call(
                ["apt-key", "adv", "--keyserver", "keyserver.ubuntu.com",
                 "--recv", signing_key_fingerprint[0]])
