Title:
  Packaging guide setup instructions are incorrect/outdated

Status in Ubuntu Packaging Guide:
  New

Bug description:
  On this page: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/getting-set-
  up.html - part of the setup instructions are incorrect or outdated.

  The section on setting up your GPG key includes details on how to send your public key to the keyserver, using the command:
  gpg --send-keys <KEY ID>

  This does not work, and causes the following error:
  gpg: no keyserver known (use option --keyserver)
  gpg: keyserver send failed: bad URI

  After speaking with sagaci on #ubuntu @ freenode IRC, I was given the
  correct instruction, which works perfectly. It is:

  gpg --send-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com <KEY ID HERE>

  
  Could you please update the Packaging setup guide to reflect this information, so that others following it may not fall into the same pit I did :)

  Thank you.
