I'm gonna throw in 4 cents....
I top post because its easier to get straight to the most recent reply.

A little code Gem that I found handy(been a while since I found it,
forgot where it came from) is actually for ubuntu repository keys. so
far it has straightened out all the keys I've had to import. All I had
to do was add the repository to the sources.list, then run the following
code:

for i in `sudo aptitude update 2>&1 | grep NO_PUBKEY | awk '{print
$NF;}'`; do sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com
--recv-keys $i; done


hope that displays correctly.....Hope its useful.
