Package: apt
Version: 0.6.43
Severity: wishlist

When using apt-key add, the help and manpage tell to provide a public key from
a file without rendering any information how to use gpg to extract it from the
keyserver. As the key-id is available from apt-get anyway, permitting the user
to ask apt-key to retrieve this key from a nearby keyserver directly and
prompting with fingerprint to add this would be much more convenient.
