GPG works properly behind a proxy using recv-keys; as long as the
http_proxy variable is set in the environment (and it is properly set
automatically by GNOME when proxy settings are configured and "Apply
system-wide").

Furthermore, software-properties' add-apt-repository now defaults to
using keyserver.ubuntu.com over port 80; which should further reduce the
cases where proxies are in use but don't allow the custom port
11371/tcp.

The environment isn't getting cleared when spawning gpg either (or
actually, when spawning apt-key), so that would also be "fixed", if it
was wrong.

Note that gpg *does* depend on the *http_proxy* variable; not
https_proxy.

Closing as Fix Released.
