Title:
  gpg keyserver should be adapted to ubuntu keyserver

Status in Ubuntu Packaging Guide:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Unfortunately there is sometimes trouble to make launchpad familiar
  with a key that has been made public with the line from

  http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/getting-set-up.html#create-
  your-gpg-key

  exatly I mean:

  $ gpg --send-keys <KEY ID>

  I have encountered everytime on different systems problems with this.

  This seems to be not for every user the case, but occure sometimes as
  a google serach has given.

  On the other hand a adaption the line to

  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto

  with

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

  do always work.

  It may be enough to add in the package guide a hint for this
  workarround, because it takes hours to find this. This may be caused
  by the launchpad hint just to wait if the finderpront import do not
  work.

  Very frustrating if you wait and wait and try again and wait . . .
  .This manpower should be used not with waiting and getting frustrated.
