[Abel Deuring <abel.deuring@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The key ID is an eight-digit hex number that, well, identifies the key.
When you run

    gpg --list-key your-name-or-your-email-address

gpg will print some data about your key, like so:

pub   1024D/6F0DAED0 2003-07-28
uid                  Abel Deuring <adeuring@xxxxxxx>
sub   2048g/AC6C5263 2003-07-28

The key ID is the number after "pub 1024D",  6F0DAED0 in this example.
(1024 is the key length; your key may have a different length.)

It is not strictly necessary to specify the --keyserver option, because
keyservers exchange their data regulary. But since Launchpad uses
keyserver.ubuntu.com to look up PGP keys, it will find your key faster
when you send it directly to keyserver.ubuntu.com.
