Looking into this a bit I think we have various options:
- switch to hpks by default in apt-key for the keyserver requests in apt-key 
and refuse to do hpk
- change gnupg to reject if a downloaded key is of a different keyid than the 
requested key [1]
- add code to apt-key to check/fixup the commandline in adv and download the 
keys to a tempkeyring and check that before further importing
- fix softwareproperties/ppa.py only and download there using python-hpk or a 
custom implementation

Feedback welcome.

[1] This would be my preferred fix, it would involve adding a new
"expected_keys" parameter to import_keys_stream() in g10/keyserver.c or
a new "validate_expected_keys()" call or something.
