3. APT, when checking the InRelease file, trusts it (and it could only
become trusted with the strong key signature, the only it knows), but
also sees a second signature with a week algorithm. Emits a warning.

So, I only see a false warning for the user: the system is safe using
the stronger key, and the legacy signature raises a warning that
shouldn't be used anyway


No, APT only issues warnings for keys that were actually used to verify a 
signature, so if you see a warning from APT, the key is still in your keyring.

In 24.10 you can use `add-apt-repository --refresh-keys` to refresh all
PPA keys and list any other keys.

Title:
  Only adds the weak key for PPAs dual-signed with both weak and strong
  keys

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After running ‘add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa’ on Ubuntu 24.04,
  ‘apt update’ gives this warning:

  W: https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/git-
  core/ppa/ubuntu/dists/noble/InRelease: Signature by key
  E1DD270288B4E6030699E45FA1715D88E1DF1F24 uses weak algorithm (rsa1024)

  But this PPA is dual-signed by two keys, only one of which is weak.
  add-apt-repository has chosen to install the rsa1024 key in
  sources.list.d.  It should choose the rsa4096 key instead.
