(Read about installing) explains how to use add-apt-repository, that
indeed fetches the keys in a secure manner.

I guess the bug is that you want the:

add-apt-repository ppa:<name of ppa>

As a clear text command to be visible on that page?

In that case please open a bug against launchpad, rather than about add-
apt-key?

** Changed in: add-apt-key (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete
