Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 8.10 / usability bug

Software sources should have a dialog to import Authentication keys from
clipboard.

Rationale:

Today. Most keys are shared as copy-paste snippets on web pages
(example:
https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA#Adding%20a%20PPA%20to%20your%20Ubuntu%20repositories).
The user needs to go through the extra steps to copy text, create a text
file, paste in text and locate this text file as a root user on his/her
harddrive to be able to a new key. This is very difficult.

** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
